This morning, Congressman Mike Doyle (D-PA) and 12 other Members of Congress sent a letter to the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) at the White House in support of policies promoting greater public access to the results of federally funded research. In the letter, Members encouraged the OSTP to implement rules that require federal agencies to permit free access to published works funded by federal dollars. Such policies would “promote the broadest possible return on taxpayer investment in academic research,” the Members wrote.
