Public Access Policy Forum Enters "Bonus Round"

Many of you expressed a desire for more time to engage in the Public Access Policy Forum post-holidays. We heard you! While Phase III ended on January 7th, we have launched a two-week bonus period for all of you who signed off for the holidays. Therefore, all three phases of the Forum will remain open through January 21st. In hopes that you will continue to build and respond to the thoughtful comments of your peers, we ask you to visit the Public Access Policy Forum portion of our blog to see all relevant posts and submit your comments in the appropriate forum:

• Phase I - Implementation
• Phase II - Features and Technology
• Phase III - Management

In addition, be sure to check out the many comments and proposals submitted to our publicaccess@ostp.gov inbox, to which you are also welcome to submit comments or documents. Some comments are just text; some have links to documents that have been submitted. Please read our postings and submerge yourself in what has already become a fruitful discussion of public access to the published results of federally funded research! Your ever-enthusiastic public access policy team here at OSTP looks forward to your input.
