In a policy memorandum dated 22 February 2013, the Executive Office of the President/Office of Science and Technology Support (OSTP) Director John Holdren has directed Federal agencies with more than $100M in R&D expenditures to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public within one year of publication and requiring researchers to better account for and manage the digital data resulting from federally funded scientific research.
Peter Suber recaps and contrasts both this "Obama directive" and the FASTR bill, currently in House and Senate: United States doubles down on open access to federally-funded research.
