Since 2008, compliance with the NIH public access policy has been a statutory requirement and a term and condition of all grants, cooperative agreements and contracts. A fundamental premise of NIH’s public access policy is that awardees are responsible for ensuring that papers directly resulting from their funding award are made accessible to the public on PubMed Central. When awardees list a paper in the progress report publication list of an RPPR or a renewal application, they are claiming that the publication directly arises from that award and the awardee is responsible for the public access compliance of the listed publications. This notice clarifies which papers directly arise from institutional training, career development, and related awards to reduce the burden of unnecessary reporting.

As top tier subscribers to Royal Society of Chemistry journals, UGA Libraries are pleased to support Open Access publishing for our faculty and students who have an accepted manuscript in an RSC journal, for free. This new program is called Gold for Gold.

The author of an accepted paper can elect to publish it Open Access,  thus reaching a wider audience. With free and immediate access, Open Access articles receive higher visibility and citation rates than publications behind pay walls. The RSC Gold for Gold program waives author page charges typically associated with publishing Open Access that most academic publishers offer.

There is a limited number of vouchers, so please ask for details right away if you have an accepted RSC manuscript and wish to maximize readership of your article!

Please contact UGA Gold for Gold Representative: Mariann Burright, mariann@uga.edu and visit the Gold For Gold FAQ for details: https://www.rsc.org/Publishing/librarians/GoldforGold.asp

Last week Congress passed the 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which, in addition to government spending and budget cuts, includes  language that promotes public access to federally funded research. President Obama is expected to sign it into law.

The bill requires federal agencies under the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education portion of the Omnibus bill with research budgets of $100 million or more to provide the public with online access to articles reporting on federally funded research within 12 months of publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Previously, the National Institutes of Health was the only government agency with a statutory public access mandate. Last year, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) made moves in this direction by requiring agencies with similar research budgets to formulate, and eventually implement, their own public access policies.

The additional agencies covered would ensure that more than $31 billion of the total $60 billion annual U.S. investment in taxpayer-funded research is now openly accessible.
