[Taxacom] OSTP request for information on Public Access to Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Publications, Data and Code Resulting From US Federally Funded Research

[Stephen Thorpe]

 The same old BS! The public don't need access to publicly funded research, only other scientists do. The most likely OA scenario would have the public paying twice, once for the research and again up front for access to stuff they don't want to read! This is all a giant scam, aimed at ripping off the public!

 The US Office of Science and Technology Policy has released a Request For Information  on Public Access to Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Publications, Data and Code Resulting From US Federally Funded Research.

"OSTP, and the National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Subcommittee on Open Science (SOS), are engaged in ongoing efforts to facilitate implementation and compliance with the 2013 memorandum Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research and to address recommended actions made by the Government Accountability Office in a November 2019 report. OSTP and the SOS continue to explore opportunities to increase access to unclassified published research, digital scientific data, and code supported by the U.S. Government. This RFI aims to provide all interested individuals and organizations with the opportunity to provide recommendations on approaches for ensuring broad public access to the peer-reviewed scholarly publications, data, and code that result from federally funded scientific research."
