CORRECTION: Public Access to Research Outputs

2013. Earlier post listed them erroneously as April. Clifford
Following up on the February 2013 White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy Memo on increasing public access th the outputs
of federally funded research -- both publications and datasets -- the
National Academies are hosting a pair of meetings (one on
publications, on MAY 14-15, and one on data, on MAY 16-17). The
announcement, which includes a link to background information and
registration pages, is below. Note that the meetings are free but
advance registration is necessary. The meetings will also be

Dear Colleagues,
A group of sponsoring agencies has requested that DBASSE organize
two public meetings at which all stakeholder groups who wish to be
heard may present their thoughts in brief form.
The topics of these meetings are directly related to the 22
February memorandum from the Office of Science and Technology
Policy entitled "Increasing access to the results of federally
funded scientific research".
The purpose of the brief verbal or written contributions is to
present ideas to the federal agencies for moving forward in a positive
direction toward accomplishing the goals set forth in the OSTP
memo.
We invite you to attend these meetings, and would also be
grateful if you would circulate this information to any contacts you
may have who have an interest in Public Access to Federally-Supported
Research and Development Data and Publications.
With gratitude for your assistance and very best regards,
Meredith
