NIH gives platform to anti-OA lobby

Tracey Caldwell

The US National Institute of Health held a last-minute meeting last month after publishers called for further public consultation over concerns about the US implementation of open access (OA) for scientific publications.

The OA policy will require authors to post publications resulting from NIH-funded research on PubMed Central after a 12-month period.

At the meeting, publishers aired their copyright worries, pointing out that a 12-month embargo did not protect the revenues of many publishers and accusing the NIH of dismissing their concerns. They also said that meeting OA costs would divert money from research.

Gene Sprouse of the American Physical Society said: "The NIH mandate jeopardises society publishers. The NIH policies appear to target the practices of a few commercial publishers without adequate consideration of the consequences for not-for-profit publishers and other low-cost publishers."
