One scope question "The journal must publish generally within the biomedical and life sciences,". I think we probably apply, since many articles will be about biophysical simulations.

Also note:

A journal must provide PMC with the full text of articles in an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format that conforms to an acceptable journal article DTD (Document Type Definition) and meets the PMC Minimum Data Criteria. PMC does not accept articles in HTML format.

Something like this could be possible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeXML), but will require investigation.

Usually they expect 2 years, but: "NLM may consider an application from a publishing organization that has been publishing scholarly content for less than two years if there is evidence that the management and individuals responsible for editorial quality and operations have adequate experience in comparable positions at other organizations."

Is unclear that we qualify, since it's not clear we have the adequate experience in operations :)

There's quite a lot of work here, since a full submission requires ~50 articles worth to be uploaded for verification.

Sounds like we should re-visit in a year or two
