OSTP Memo, 2/22/2013
• Within six months (by 8/22), agencies will develop plans to increase public access to scientific publications and scientific data in digital formats, consistent with their missions and existing law, and within existing budgets
• Underlying principles:• Maintains the importance of peer review and the role of publishers• Calls for collaboration among agencies and stakeholder groups• Does not specify a funding strategy, allowing for experimentation• Does not specify a technical approach but does encourage
leveraging existing archives

Collaborate
• FY 2012-13: Preliminary activities• Interagency
– OSTP Working Group on Public Access to Publications– OSTP Working Group on Public Access to Digital Scientific Data
• NSF– Steering Committee on Public Access to Results of NSF-funded
Research– Working Group on Public Access to Publications– Working Group on Public Access to Digital
Scientific Data• National Science Board

Some of the issues?
• Repository architectures: Information management, storage, and custody
• Access– Embargo: Whether, how long, and who pays?– Access: To what? by whom? for what purpose?
• Relationship between data and publications – and other products of research
• Roles of different groups• Compliance and metrics• Change: Technological, organizational, and regulatory

Leverage
• Standards and best practices – NISO/NFAIS; RDA; etc.• Systems – NIH, USDA, NASA, DOD, DOT, etc. (external)– Fastlane, Research.gov, web (enterprise)– Numerous data repositories
• Private sector: CrossRef, FundRef, ORCID• Positioned for change

• NSF funds a wide range of disciplines. • Disciplines and communities have different
traditions of publication and data management.• NSF investigators usually have more than one source
of funding, and patterns in agency co-funding vary by directorate and office.
• Preliminary research indicates that NSF-funded authors publish in a wide range of journals and venues.
Prior Experience: NSF Context

Tools and Procedures
• NSF has a history of encouraging data sharing.• January 2011: Data management plan
requirement went into effect.• January 2013: Datasets can be reported in the individual
biosketch in proposals as evidence of expertise.• Datasets (as well as publications) are reported in annual
and final reports as outcomes of research.• Article processing charges can be identified as a direct
expense in a budget proposal.

Approach: Open, Flexible, Incremental
• Communicate with research communities, agencies, and others
• Minimize burden on awardees and investigators• Minimize burden on NSF program and administrative staff• Align (where possible) with existing capabilities• Recognize diversity of research
disciplines and communities• Obtain high-level coherence• Implement an integrated approach

This is an opportunity.
• Broaden access to research results in science and technology
• Use information to advance the Foundation’s mission to support research and innovation
• Provide a platform for innovation in services and business models as well as in research
