Do you have prove US Citizenship to gain access? (It says citizens with
a small 'c'.) Shouldn't one be?

Federal agencies that directs those with more than $100 million in

results of federally-funded research publically available free of

Increasing Public Access to the Results of Scientific Research

Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy/
Thank you for your participation

in the We the People platform. The Obama Administration agrees that
citizens deserve easy access to the results of research their tax
dollars have paid for. As you may know, the Office of Science and
Technology Policy has been looking into this issue for some time and
has reached out to the public on two occasions for input on the
question of how best to achieve this goal of democratizing the results
of federally-funded research. Your petition has been important to our
discussions of this issue.
The logic behind enhanced public access is plain. We know that
scientific research supported by the Federal Government spurs
scientific breakthroughs and economic advances when research results
are made available to innovators. Policies that mobilize these
intellectual assets for re-use through broader access can accelerate
scientific breakthroughs, increase innovation, and promote economic
growth. That's why the Obama Administration is committed to ensuring
that the results of federally-funded scientific research are made
available to and useful for the public, industry, and the scientific
community.
Moreover, this research was funded by taxpayer dollars. Americans
should have easy access to the results of research they help support.
To that end, I have issued a memorandum today (.pdf)

to Federal agencies that directs those with more than $100 million in
research and development expenditures to develop plans to make the
results of federally-funded research publically available free of
charge within 12 months after original publication. As you pointed
out, the public access policy adopted by the National Institutes of
Health has been a great success. And while this new policy call does
not insist that every agency copy the NIH approach exactly, it does
ensure that similar policies will appear across government.
As I mentioned, these policies were developed carefully through
extensive public consultation. We wanted to strike the balance between
the extraordinary public benefit of increasing public access to the
results of federally-funded scientific research and the need to ensure
that the valuable contributions that the scientific publishing
industry provides are not lost. This policy reflects that balance, and
it also provides the flexibility to make changes in the future based
on experience and evidence. For example, agencies have been asked to
use a 12-month embargo period as a guide for developing their
policies, but also to provide a mechanism for stakeholders to petition
the agency to change that period. As agencies move forward with
developing and implementing these polices, there will be ample
opportunity for further public input to ensure they are doing the best
possible job of reconciling all of the relevant interests.
In addition to addressing the issue of public access to scientific
publications, the memorandum requires that agencies start to address
the need to improve upon the management and sharing of scientific data
produced with Federal funding. Strengthening these policies will
promote entrepreneurship and jobs growth in addition to driving
scientific progress. Access to pre-existing data sets can accelerate
growth by allowing companies to focus resources and efforts on
understanding and fully exploiting discoveries instead of repeating
basic, pre-competitive work already documented elsewhere. For example,
open weather data underpins the forecasting industry and provides
great public benefits, and making human genome sequences publically
available has spawned many biomedical innovations---not to mention
many companies generating billions of dollars in revenues and the jobs
that go with them. Going forward, wider availability of scientific
data will create innovative economic markets for services related to
data curation, preservation, analysis, and visualization, among others.
So thank you again for your petition. I hope you will agree that the
Administration has done its homework and responded substantively to
your request.
Tell us what you think about this response and We the People.
