Most major publishers of biomedical journals make it very easy to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy. Often it is as simple as marking a checkbox on the Copyright Transfer Agreement.
The Details:
Information can also be found on the Authors’ Rights and/or Author Instructions pages on publisher’s websites.
The Submission:
If the journal publisher does not deposit the manuscript on behalf of an author, s/he must do so using the NIH Manuscript Submission System.
