Non-profit organisation CHORUS has announced an agreement with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to expand public access to the results of its funded research.
USAID's public access plan was released in November 2016 and is designed to ensure effective access to and reliable preservation of both peer-reviewed scholarly publications and digital data produced through research funded wholly or in part by USAID.
Readers searching USAID's public access portal will be able to follow links that point to open access articles/accepted manuscripts in the context of the journal where they were published. CHORUS dashboards and reports will facilitate monitoring of access to articles and data reporting on research funded by USAID. USAID will employ CHORUS' services to advance access enable agency indexing and long-term preservation of those articles.
CHORUS' interoperable, distributed approach knits together existing tools, services, and infrastructure to facilitate sustainable public access, sharing, discoverability, reporting, and preservation of content reporting on funded research. CHORUS' open API (application programming interface) enables funders and others to develop their own search functionality tapping into its data identifying articles associated with funding agencies and invites innovators to develop new tools and functionality that further support discovery and public access.
