Catch up on the updates shared by SPARC with stakeholders last month about how the joint agreement issued alongside the recent appropriations act included a section on open access that directs the OSTP to produce a financial analysis of the 2022 Nelson Memo. The section states that the analysis should include, “the policy’s anticipated impact on Federal research investments, research integrity, and the peer review process, as was previously directed in House Report 117-395, no later than 100 days after the enactment of this act. If OSTP fails to provide the Committees with the report within 100 days, then OSTP must pause implementation of the memorandum until the agency produces the report.” SPARC notes that the OSTP is expected to produce the report.
