The Federal Research Public Access Act, recently introduced to the US Congress, calls for every federal agency with a budget of more than $100 million to implement a public access policy to ensure that articles resulting from the research funded by the agency are made openly available online within six months of publication.

The legislation would require agencies to:

Require each researcher - funded totally or partially by the agency - to submit an electronic copy of the final manuscript that has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal

Ensure the manuscript is preserved in a stable, digital repository maintained by that agency or in another suitable repository that permits free public access, interoperability, and long-term preservation

Require that free, online access to each taxpayer-funded manuscript be available as soon as possible, and no later than six months after its publication in a peer-reviewed journal

The Federal Research Public Access Act was introduced into the U.S. Senate this month by Sen. John Cornyn and is co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman. For more information, read Senator Cornyn's press release.
