PMC International (PMCI) is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. PMCI is a collaborative effort between the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine, the publishers whose journal content makes up the PMC archive, and organizations in other countries that share NIH's and NLM's interest in archiving life sciences literature.
Note that the Europe PMC instance redirects canonical local unique identifiers from https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3084216 to https://europepmc.org/article/PMC/3084216. However, this is an implementation detail and does not reflect the official format of a PMC identifier, which indeed does include PMC
at the beginning of the local unique identifier
pmc
Local identifiers in PubMed Central should match this
regular expression:
^PMC\d+(\.\d+)?$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from PubMed Central should match
this regular expression:
^pmc:PMC\d+(\.\d+)?$

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE
pmc:PMC3084216
is used to demonstrate the provides available for
this resource. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic
logic beyond string formatting.
