OSTP wants your comments on Open Access to Federally Funded Research
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is requesting input regarding enhanced access to federally funded science and technology research results, including the possibility of open access to them. Comments can be e-mailed to publicaccess@ostp.gov. The deadline for comments is January 7, 2010. For more, see the Federal Register announcement: Federal Register: December 9, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 235) Page 65173-65175
