SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In February of 2013, OSTP issued the
memorandum Increasing Access to the
Results of Federally Funded Scientific
Research. The memorandum directed
Federal agencies with more than $100M
in research and development (R&D)
expenditures to develop plans to make
the results of federally funded
unclassified research that are published
in peer-reviewed publications, and
digitally formatted scientific data,
publicly available. Federal agency plans
required that published work be made
available following a twelve-month
post-publication embargo period.
OSTP and the NSTC SOS continue to
explore opportunities to make the
knowledge, information and data
generated by federally funded research
more readily accessible to students,
clinicians, businesses, entrepreneurs,
researchers, technologists, and the
general public who support these
investments as a means to accelerate
knowledge and innovation. Over the
course of the last two years, OSTP has
had nearly 100 meetings with
stakeholders on open science, current
policy on public access to the results of
federally funded research, the evolution

of scholarly communications, and
access to data and code associated with
published results. This RFI aims to
expand on these consultations and
provide all interested individuals and
organizations with the opportunity to
provide recommendations on
approaches for ensuring broad public
access to the peer-reviewed scholarly
publications, data and code that result
from federally funded scientific
research. OSTP is interested in
perspectives on the following topics:
• What current limitations exist to the
effective communication of research
outputs (publications, data, and code)
and how might communications evolve
to accelerate public access while
advancing the quality of scientific
research? What are the barriers to and
opportunities for change?
• What more can Federal agencies do
to make tax-payer funded research
results, including peer-reviewed author
manuscripts, data, and code funded by
the Federal Government, freely and
publicly accessible in a way that
minimizes delay, maximizes access, and
enhances usability? How can the
Federal Government engage with other
sectors to achieve these goals?
• How would American science
leadership and American
competitiveness benefit from immediate
access to these resources? What are
potential challenges and effective
approaches for overcoming them?
Analyses that weigh the trade-offs of
different approaches and models,
especially those that provide data, will
be particularly helpful.
• Any additional information that
might be considered for Federal policies
related to public access to peerreviewed author manuscripts, data, and
code resulting from federally supported
research.
