Thanks, Dana. Obviously, I've misread PMC's Selective Deposit
Agreement.
I thought that PMC was supposed to
receive content from participants no more than 4 weeks after publication
and then agree to release full-text on a date specificed by the
participant but no more than 12 months after publication. I had
assumed these embargoed article titles - but not full-text content
- were searchable in PMC between the time the content was
received but before the full-text was made available by the
participant. I'm very happy to learn that that is not the case.
Still, I wonder about journals with mixed content access under
current mandates.
