AIP Publishing has announced that it is one of the first STM publishers to begin making federally funded research articles it publishes in its journals publicly available through CHORUS (Clearing House for the Open Research of the United States). Over the next twelve months, AIP Publishing will make over 900 government funded articles freely available to the public via CHORUS, helping the U.S. government expand access to research funded by the American public.
Under the leadership of former Executive Director of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), Fred Dylla, AIP and AIP Publishing have been a driving force in the founding of CHORUS, enabling the organisation to develop a cost-effective solution to meet the requirements of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum of 2013.
The memorandum, aimed at government agencies with annual R&D expenditure of over $100M, requires that federally funded research be made freely available within one year of publication.
