Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Responses to OSTP Requests for Info on Data & Article Access

Last year, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
issued two requests for information, one dealing with public access
to articles describing the results of federally funded research, and
the other wiht public access to data produced as part of federally
funded research. Both of these calls for input (which I shared with
the CNI-announce list) closed on January 12, 2012.

The responses to these requests for information have now been posted.
There were some 117 dealing with public access to data, and 375
dealing with scholarly publications. I submitted responses to both
calls on behalf of the Coalition, and these are included.

The announcement is here:

The data responses are here

And the scholarly publishing responses are here
