New study: "Open access publishing: is urology ready? A survey of authors, readers, and editorial board’s knowledge, impressions and satisfaction."
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00345-025-05928-3
(#paywalled)Not a good way to run a survey or report the results.
* The results are paywalled.
* The article does not include the survey questions.
* The survey defines #GoldOA, #GreenOA, #DiamondOA, and #HybridOA. But the article only reports the attitudes toward APC-based gold OA. No surprise, they're negative. Yet disdain for #APCs only strengthens the reason to ask about green and diamond OA. If the survey did ask, then what are the answers? If it didn't ask, then why not?
* The survey gives a false definition of green OA, saying that it's always embargoed. That's especially odd since under current US federal agency policies, it's never embargoed. -

#SPARC has released its own new info on the new #NIH #OpenAccess policy.
https://sparcopen.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Update-to-NIH-PA-Policy-Deadline.pdfExcerpt:
<blockquote>
● The Policy requires immediate public access to articles -- #embargoes are no longer allowed.
● NIH reiterates authors do not have to pay a fee to comply with the Policy.
● The Policy applies to manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025. This means the Policy will apply to existing grants if an article is accepted on or after that date.
● The Policy requires that final peer-reviewed manuscripts be submitted to #PubMedCentral (#PMC) upon acceptance to be made publicly available immediately upon publication.
● The Policy requires that grantees explicitly grant the NIH the right to make the manuscript available in PMC without an embargo.
● The Policy does not explicitly grant full reuse rights of the manuscript to the public.

Update. Kudos to the Association of Health Care Journalists (#AHCJ) for its campaign against the #NEJM embargo against news outlets serving physicians. #NEJM just dropped the embargo.

"The New England Journal of Medicine (#NEJM) is cutting off certain publications from advanced access to its embargoed journal articles. News outlets that report for physician readers will no longer meet criteria for embargoed access."
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/109756PS: In other words, the readers who most need unembargoed access (for patient care and clinical application) will be denied unembargoed access.

NASA just released an important update to its open science policies.
https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/science-data/science-information-policySPARC has written a useful summary.
https://sparcopen.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Overview-NASA-SMD-41a-Info-Policy.pdfFrom SPARC: "While this policy does not serve as NASA's official response to the OSTP Nelson Memorandum, it is a good indication of what we are likely to ultimately see in NASA's agency-wide public access plan, which is due out in February 2023."
