Europe PMC is an open global database of life science publications and preprints hosted by European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). Europe PMC is endorsed and supported by a group of international science funders, including Wellcome, World Health Organisation, European Research Council, and many others, as their repository of choice.

The Europe PMC funders expect research outputs arising from research they support to be made freely and readily available. In this webinar we will explain how researchers can make their research open using Europe PMC and cover the benefits of including publications and preprints in Europe PMC for authors and readers. We will provide guidance on open access policies of Europe PMC funders and demonstrate how to include research publications in Europe PMC and PubMed Central USA.
