NSF Public Access Initiative | NSF - National Science Foundation

"The U.S. National Science Foundation's Public Access Initiative ensures the outputs of NSF-funded scientific research are made publicly available to the greatest extent, with the fewest constraints possible and consistent with law. 

This page highlights the efforts of NSF's Public Access Initiative, which include: 

• Maintaining the NSF Public Access Repository, where NSF-supported publications and other research products are openly available to the public.  

• Funding projects that advance the understanding of, provide resources for, and/or encourage practices toward enhancing public access.  

• Coordinating agency activities regarding public access. ..."
