Open Access and Open Data Roundup

abernard102@gmail.com 2016-04-06

Summary:

"March was another busy month for stakeholders in the ever-expanding world of open access (OA) and its sibling, open data. During the past few weeks, we’ve seen a small step forward for FASTR, an important piece of proposed U.S. legislation. Open Data had an equally busy month, with several calls-to-action for support and advocacy and the splashy launch of the new Open Data Button. Although NewsBreaks periodically covers important news happening within the OA world, this article marks an important milestone: It’s the first time open data has been featured so prominently within an OA roundup."
