President Donald Trump is considering requiring federally funded research to be immediately free, according to reports. It would be a win for the public, if not for toll keepers like $48 billion RELX or $14 billion Informa, writes rob_cyran.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing an executive order that would require the results of federally funded research be immediately available to the public for free according to an article in E&E News on Dec. 17. Currently, such research is available within a year of publication.
In response, the Association of American Publishers sent a letter to the White House signed by a coalition of more than 135 scientific research and publishing organizations opposing the move. They said it would “undermine American science, intellectual property and global competitiveness.” Several petitions by academics, and SPARC, a coalition of more than 200 academic and research libraries, wrote in support of the initiative to publish results openly and immediately.
