Curt, you forgot to include this part of their disclaimer: PMC is a repository of content primarily from two sources: peer reviewed journals that overall have met NLM’s standards for PMC <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/guidelines/#sciqual>; and peer reviewed author manuscripts deposited in compliance with the public access policy of NIH or other collaborating funders <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/public-access/>.
So by your logic, the New England Journal of Medicine is "just a repository" and peer reviewed means nothing? ------------- Max Charleston SC On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 8:10 PM Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > From the disclaimers page: "PMC is not a publisher and does not publish > journal articles itself.
