In his remarks just now on the Cancer Moonshot, @POTUS raised research sharing as "one of the biggest issues" necessary to speed discovery and highlighted his administration's work to ensure "transparency applies to all federally funded science." #OAintheUSA
Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess https://t.co/baSNzXPh4Y

@OSIUnited@RickyPo@AsensioResearch @matteozullo_mz @LSEImpactBlog No surprise here but I would argue that gratis OA is still a form of OA. Furthermore, NASEM's permissions reqs are not profit-driven (unlike Elsevier, etc), as their application of copyright is only intended to secure the integrity of the findings.
@RickyPo@OSIUnited@AsensioResearch @matteozullo_mz @LSEImpactBlog claim #1 implies that the definition of OA should be limited to non-paywalled scholarly journals. This is contrary to UNESCO's own definition: "Open Access means free access to scientific information" https://t.co/RGEsQOt9QJ
@RickyPo@OSIUnited@AsensioResearch @matteozullo_mz @LSEImpactBlog There appear to be two claims: 1) "these reports are white papers more...than academic journal articles," 2) "there's always been a broad audience for science white papers." If claim #2 were true then we would not see level change post-OA policy for non-researcher downloaders:
@RickyPo@OSIUnited@AsensioResearch @matteozullo_mz @LSEImpactBlog Also relevant is that .edu and .gov downloaders resulted in *temporary* level change, with immediate increase post-OA policy change, and then neg slope change over time. Regression to the mean. Yet, larger post-OA dwnlds of reports by non-researchers has remained consistent.
@RickyPo Forthcoming: I analyzed 8.2M NASEM dwnlds from 2006-2020. NASEM OA went into effect June 2011. I observe level change by personal downloaders post-OA. If non-researchers were already wtp for paywalled NASEM reports, we would expect no discontinuity or regression to counterfactual
