OSTP to Launch Public Forum to Discuss Options for Improving Public Access to Results of Federally Funded Research
,----[ Quote ]
| On Thursday, Dec. 10, OSTP will launch a
| public consultation on Public Access
| Policy. The Administration is seeking
| public input on access to publicly-funded
| research results, such as those that appear
| in academic and scholarly journal articles.
| Currently, the National Institutes of
| Health require that research funded by its
| grants be made available to the public
| online at no charge within 12 months of
| publication. The Administration is seeking
| views as to whether this policy should be
| extended to other science agencies and, if
| so, how it should be implemented.
