Author Manuscripts in PMC

The author manuscript, also called a post-print, is the version of a paper that has been peer reviewed and accepted for publication by the journal.
For a complete diagram and flowchart of the relationship between author manuscripts and finalized manuscripts, please visit the Author Manuscripts in PMC page.

• PMID (from PubMed)
• PMCID (from PMC)
• Manuscript ID (from a manuscript submission system, e.g., NIHMS, Europe PMC, PMC Canada)
• DOI (Digital Object Identifier)

Note that not every article will have all of these identifiers. A Manuscript ID will be available for an article that was added to PMC via the NIHMS or similar submission system. A DOI will be available if the article was assigned a DOI by its publisher.  If you look up an ID for an article that is not in PMC, you will receive an "Identifier not found in PMC" message.
