Directive*

* *

[PIJIP press release] Today, PIJIP Director and PLoS Board Member Michael
Carroll commended the Obama Administration for issuing an historic policy
Directive that opens up access to the crucial results of publicly funded
research by directing all federal agencies with annual research and
development budgets of $100 million or more to provide the public with free
and unlimited online access to the results that research: Today, the Obama
Administrations Office of Science and Technology Policy adopted a
pro-Internet, pro-science, pro-innovation policy that requires research
articles reporting the results of federally funded research to be made
available over the Internet.  Importantly, the policy also addresses
research data and directs that these data should be made public to the
greatest extent feasible. Agencies should embrace these opportunities to
increase the value and impact of the research they fund with vigor and
creativity. Click here for more. <http://infojustice.org/archives/28677>
