US petition adds weight to OA campaign
Tracey Caldwell
A US petition for access to publicly funded research has been started, building on the momentum of a similar petition circulating in Europe in support of a European Commission proposal that has already gathered over 24,000 signatures.
The proposal is to guarantee public access to publicly funded research results shortly after publication and to make published articles arising from EC-funded research available after a specified time in open access archives.
The US petition, open to supporters around the world, comes as US lawmakers consider ways to promote public access with the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), soon to be re-introduced.
The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (Sparc), a founding member of the Alliance for Taxpayer Access, set up the petition.
