Last September, we announced significant changes to the process of creating and editing PubMed data to be implemented in 2016. As we develop the new PubMed Data Management (PMDM) system, we would like to outline some of the changes PubMed data providers can expect to see this year.
Given that the vast majority of PubMed citations are now supplied electronically by data providers, our goal is to reduce barriers and delays introduced by the current process by empowering publishers to update and correct their own citations. Data providers will soon be able to update or correct nearly all elements of their citations at any time after initial receipt of their records by PubMed. There will no longer be a period when citations are not available for update by the data provider.
The publisher will essentially hold both full authority and responsibility for presenting their own citations accurately in PubMed. This does not mean PubMed staff are unwilling to help publishers or to make an occasional correction on the publisher's behalf. But overall, publishers will now have full control of their own material.
All edits of citation data will be made in PMDM's secure web interface. PMDM will only be accessible to authorized representatives of the data provider, and users will only be able to edit citations for journals assigned to their account.
Once PMDM is implemented, NLM will not as a matter of course update or correct publisher-supplied citations. Instead, any requests for corrections received by NLM Customer Service will be forwarded to the appropriate publisher for resolution however the publisher deems best and on the publisher's timeline.
In addition to the transfer of control for editing citations, we plan to extend the PubMed Publisher DTD to include additional fields for supporting metadata traditionally added by NLM staff, but which some publishers are able to provide. This includes additional publication types previously not available to data providers (e.g., Case Reports, Clinical Trial, Meta-Analysis), IDs and accession numbers to databases cited in the article (e.g., GenBank, PubChem, ClinicalTrials.gov), as well as NIH or other funding agency grant support numbers. Also, data providers will be able to include HTML in their citation data.
We will continue to provide you with further information as we progress. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at publisher@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PUBMED!!
Dear PubMed Data Provider,
