The document discusses the evolving landscape of academic publishing and the rise of open access in response to funding mandates, highlighting the need for universally accessible preprints and institutional repositories. It emphasizes the unsustainability of traditional journal subscriptions and the shift towards a model where research outputs, including data, must be made openly available to the public. Stakeholders, including governments and funding bodies, are urged to adopt policies that support open access to ensure transparency and efficiency in the dissemination of publicly funded research.

3. The Promise of Institutional Repositories
“If all scholars’ preprints were universally available to all scholars by
anonymous ftp (and gopher, and World-wide web, and the search/retrieval
wonders of the future), NO scholar would ever consent to WITHDRAW that
preprint from the public eye after the refereed version was accepted for
paper "PUBLICation." Instead, everyone would, quite naturally, substitute the
refereed, published reprint for the unrefereed preprint. Paper publishers will
then either restructure themselves (with the cooperation of the scholarly
community) so as to arrange for the minimal true costs and a fair return on
electronic-only page costs (which I estimate to be less than 25% of paper-
page costs, contrary to the 75% figure that appears in most current
publishers' estimates) to be paid out of advance subsidies (from authors' page
charges, learned society dues, university publication budgets and/or
governmental publication subsidies) or they will have to watch as the peer
community spawns a brand new generation of electronic-only publishers who
will.”

Universal Green makes all articles OA, thereby
making subscriptions unsustainable, forcing
publishers to cut needless costs and downsize to
managing peer review alone. No more demand for
a print edition. No more demand for an online
edition. All access-provision and archiving offloaded
onto the global network of institutional OA
repositories.

opportunities and in scale, the publication of data and objects (like
multimedia, application code, etc.), and more start-ups.”

“The Obama Administration is committed to the proposition that citizens
deserve easy access to the results of scientific research their tax dollars have paid
for. That’s why, in a policy memorandum released today, OSTP Director John
Holdren has directed Federal agencies with more than $100M in R&D
expenditures to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded
research freely available to the public within one year of publication and
requiring researchers to better account for and manage the digital data
resulting from federally funded scientific research.”

“On the Open Access and Open Data fronts, the plan released
today reiterates U.S.'s firm commitment to opening access to
articles resulting from publicly-funded research, citing the
language from the 2013 OSTP Directive on this subject.
Additionally, the plan calls for robust attention ensuring that
data — including code, applications and technologies —
generated from publicly-funded research be made openly
accessible as well. This is a strong nod to an eventual full U.S.
Open Science Agenda.”

17. “But taxpayers who are paying for
that research will want to see
something back. Directly – through
open access to results and data.
And indirectly – through making
science work better for all of us.
That’s why we will require open
access to all publications stemming
from EU-funded research. That’s
why we will progressively open
access to the research data, too.
And why we’re asking national
funding bodies to do the same.”

All research data collected with the use of SSHRC funds must be
preserved and made available for use by others within a reasonable
period of time. SSHRC considers "a reasonable period" to be within two years of the
completion of the research project for which the data was collected.”
“SSHRC is committed to the principle that the various forms of research data
collected with public funds belong in the public domain. Accordingly, SSHRC
has adopted a policy to facilitate making data that has been
collected with the help of SSHRC funds available to other
researchers. Costs associated with preparing research data for deposit are
considered eligible expenses in SSHRC research grant programs. Research data
includes quantitative social, political and economic data sets; qualitative information
in digital format; experimental research data; still and moving image and sound data
bases; and other digital objects used for analytical purposes.

25. “CIHR-funded researchers are also required to deposit bioinformatics, atomic,
and molecular coordinate data into the appropriate public database
immediately upon publication of research results. They must also retain original
data sets for a minimum of five years (or longer if other policies apply).”
