Trump Administration May Dismantle Scientific Paywalls

peter.suber's bookmarks 2020-01-06

Summary:

"The federal government spends billions of dollars of your money every year funding scientific research. And yet, in many cases, when the results of that research are published, it can take a full year before the public can read those results for free. The Trump administration wants to change that, making all taxpayer-funded research available immediately, but publishing companies aren’t happy about it."
