cOAlition S – an international consortium of research funding and performing organisations working to deliver full and immediate Open Access – welcomes the announcement from the White House Office of Science Technology and Policy mandating that all federally funded research results should be made immediately available and in ways which allow others to build upon and reuse them.
Central to this guidance is the requirement that research articles – and the data underpinning their findings – are made publicly accessible 'by default in agency-designated repositories without any embargo or delay after publication’.
The OSTP guidance is fully aligned with the open access policies of many forward looking universities and research agencies – including those who have implemented Plan S – and with the recent UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.
