Ask The Chefs: OSTP Policy Part I - The Scholarly Kitchen

"It’s been hard to turn to email, chats, Twitter, or any of my other informational feeds since Thursday and not hear an analysis or opinion about the OSTP Policy Memo (a.k.a. the Nelson Memo) that came out last week. The subject? Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research. Now that’s going to get attention!

While the language is soft in places, using words like “recommends” and “should” and perpetuating the term “public access”, the memo is a push to open — and its intention is clear.

So we quickly asked the Chefs: What are your initial thoughts about the OSTP policy announcement?

(The Chefs had a lot to say about OSTP so this is Part I of a two-part post.)"
