The abstract reads as follows: "The steady march toward open access publishing advanced again in January when US lawmakers extended mandates already covering National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded research to other federal agencies. The open access mandates were included in the $1.1 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, signed by President Obama on January 17, 2014. The bill requires all agencies in the federal Departments of Education, Health and Human Services and Labor that spend $100 million or more per year on research and development to provide free online access to the work they fund within 12 months of publication in a peer-reviewed journal."
