Video: Columbia University hosts panel on public access to research | Elsevier Connect

"Last February, the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) directed US government agencies to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded research freely available within a year of publication, and for researchers to better account for the digital data they derive from federally funded research. Since then, several organizations have come up with proposals to meet the requirements. On November 12, the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship at Columbia University hosted a panel to discuss major proposals: CHORUS (the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States), SHARE (SHared Access Research Ecosystem), and National Institutes for Health (NIH) policies. The event was called 'Expanding Public Access to Federally Funded Research: Implementing the OSTP Memo.' Panelists were Dr. Neil Thakur, Special Assistant to the Deputy Director for Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH); Dr. Alicia Wise Director of Universal Access at Elsevier; and Judy Ruttenberg, Program Director for the Transforming Research Libraries strategic direction at the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). The panel was moderated by Dr. Elwin Wu, Associate Director of the Columbia University School of Social Work Social Intervention Group and Co-Director of the HIV Intervention Science Training Program for Racial/Ethnic Minority New Investigators."
