The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) just announced<\/a> that all publications and supporting data stemming from federally-funded research must be soon also be made available to all, without an embargo period or cost. The Open Access movement has made a lot of headway since Aaron Swartz<\/a>‘s early activism, and since 2013 such publications had to be made freely available within a year of first publication. This new policy will eliminate the one year embargo. The accompanying memorandum<\/a> points to how having immediate access to COVID-19 research greatly accelerated our progress against the disease, and that “the insights of new and cutting-edge research stemming from the support of federal agencies should be immediately available\u2014not just in moments of crisis, but in every moment.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ars Technica has more background<\/a>, and says the announcement came as something of a surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
