Public Access to Results of Federally Funded Research: Where we stand today

Over the past decade there has been a slow policy shift towards providing public access to the results — both articles and data — of research funded by the federal government. I will summarize these developments, with emphasis on recent events involving the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the emergence of systems from the publishing community (CHORUS) and the higher education and research community (SHARE). I will also touch briefly on related developments at the institutional level in the US, the positions of non-federal research funders, and (time permitting) some parallel international initiatives.
