This guidance aligns with accessibility recommendations from <a href="https://jats4r.niso.org/accessibility/">JATS for Reuse</a>, a working group under NISO. This recommendation bases its set of tagging best practices on the following definition:</p> <blockquote>"Accessibility is the practice of ensuring there are minimal barriers to access and interact with websites and other electronic information for users with physical or situational disabilities."</blockquote> <p>The newly added <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pmcdoc/tagging-guidelines/article/genprac.html#art_access">Accessibility section</a> provides an overview summarizing these recommendations and provides links to over 30 elements and document objects throughout the TG.

To implement this change, we moved the previous site, <strong>www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov</strong>, into the NCBI domain as a sub-site. You can now access the PMC home page at <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc</a>.</p> <p>The primary advantage of the new format is to enable the PMC site to become more fully integrated with other NCBI resources. The new URLs are also more user-friendly—they no longer include technology-driven terminology, such as CGI script names and file extensions (Figure 1). </p> <p> <img src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/cms/images/URLsfig1.png" title="Old URL" alt="Old URL Screen Shot"/> </p> <h3>Figure 1 - Old URL for Journal Page with CGI Script Name</h3> <p>Instead, note that after the NCBI/PMC address, the URL first identifies the type of resource, e.g., the PMC journal list, with subsequent identification for a particular subset of that resource—in this case, the journal number (Figure 2). </p> <p> <img src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/cms/images/URLsfig2.png" title="New URL" alt="New URL Screen Shot"/> </p> <h3>Figure 2 - New URL for Journal Page with Journal Number</h3> <p>Additionally, you will have greater flexibility in accessing particular types of material because, in a number of cases, more than one URL can be used for the same resource. In these instances, one URL is considered to be canonical, or primary; however, using any of the ancillary URLs for that resource will redirect you back to the canonical one. For example (see Figure 3), although the first URL, which represents the PMCID, is considered to be the canonical URL, you may also access the article by using other identifiers, such as the pmid, doi, or the issn-volume-issue-page (ivip). </p> <p> <img src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/cms/images/URLsfig3_revised.png" title="URLs for same article" alt="URLs for same article Screen Shot"/> </p> <h3>Figure 3 - Canonical and Ancillary URLs for the Same Full-Text Article</h3> <p> Finally, with the roll-out of these more stable and standardized URLs, as in the table below (Figure 4), you will also find it easier to modify the web addresses in your browser. Note that the canonical URL is given first and is in bold; the ancillary URLs are listed below it. </p> <p> <img src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/cms/images/URLsfig4_revised.png" title="URL Table Display" alt="URL Table Display Screen Shot"/> </p> <h3>Figure 4 - Table Display of all New URLs</h3> <p>Although the new URLs are firmly in place, please also note that we haven't completely discarded the old to bring in the new.
