Ensure open access to federally funded research data/pubs

[Joe Gilvary <dinosaur@gilvary.net>]

The US of A's Science and Technology Policy Office is seeking input on 
ways to ensure that peer-reviewed publications and digital data from 
federally funded research work is/remains accessible, specifically 
asking for suggestions on "approaches for ensuring long-term 
stewardship" in the case of publications, and "broad public access" for 
both the data and the publications. The requests are actually broader; 
your best bet is to read the Office's official pages

Offer input on the approaches for the publications by email to 
publicaccess@ostp.gov

Offer input on the approaches for open access to the digital data by 
email to digitaldata@ostp.gov

Here are URLs from the Federal Register to the official pages.
