Europe PubMed Central

Europe PMC provides free access to more than 9.3 million full-text biomedical and life sciences research articles and over 43.3 million citations. Europe PMC contains some citation information and includes text mining based marked up text that links to external molecular and medical datasets. The Grant Lookup facility allows users to search for information in a wide variety of different ways on over 101,900 grants awarded by the Europe PMC funders. Most content is mirrored from PubMed Central, which manages the deposit of entire books and journals. Additionally, Europe PMC offers a manuscript submission system, Europe PMC plus, which allows scientists to self-deposit their peer-reviewed research articles for inclusion in the Europe PMC collection. ==Organisation==

The Europe PMC project was originally launched in 2007 as the first 'mirror' site to PMC, which aims to provide international preservation of the open and free-access biomedical and life sciences literature. It forms part of a network of PMC International (PMCI) repositories that includes PubMed Central Canada. Europe PMC is not an exact "mirror" of the PMC database but has developed some different features. On 15 February 2013 CiteXplore was subsumed under Europe PubMed Central. The resource is managed and developed by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), on behalf of an alliance of 27 biomedical and life sciences research funders, led by the Wellcome Trust. ==See also==
