Summary:
"The undersigned Open Access scholarly publishers express our full support for Dr. Alondra Nelson’s United States Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum, “Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research.”
The memo requires US federal granting bodies to develop and implement new policies making all taxpayer-funded scholarly research and underlying raw data freely and publicly available without embargo by 2026.

Our main message is simple: publishing in any journal published by this group already meets or exceeds the requirements outlined in the OSTP memo...."
