Big Win: White House OSTP Releases New Guidance on Access to Federally Funded Research
[PIJIP] The White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) issued an updated memorandum updating the 2013 White House OSTP Memorandum on Public Access to Publicly Funded Research Results to make “articles resulting from all U.S. federally funded research freely available and publicly accessible by default in agency-designated repositories without any embargo or delay after publication.” It eliminates the 12-month embargo and makes articles—and the underlying data needed to validate results—openly available in machine readable formats.
