There was an OBM memo today that might be of interest:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/ostp_public_access_memo_2013.pdf
And a response to the 'petition' website:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/increasing-public-access-results-scientific-research
I've only skimmed the memo so far, but what I understand:
* Affects agencies w/ more than $100M in R&D spending
* Must give a plan in 6 months on how they're going to improve
public access to publications & data
* Can have an embargo after publication (baseline is 12 months)
* No charges for access to the article metadata
* Grants can include costs for data management & access
* Interagency cooperation on workforce development (for data
topics)
... it's only 6 pages, for those who haven't left for the day already.
