  4. The US Government Accountability Office (#GAO) just reviewed the #OpenAccess policies at nine federal agencies.
    gao.gov/products/gao-26-107738

    A few highlights:

    * Among other things, GAO looked for compliance with the #NelsonMemo. This is further evidence that the #Trump admin supports the memo.

    * It encourages #NSF and #USDA to go further to ensure #reuse rights. (That would be good.) But it assumes that the other agencies are already doing enough to ensure reuse rights. (I can't agree with this.)

    * It praises #NIH for taking steps to reduce money spent on grantee #APCs, and encourages other agencies to follow the NIH lead on this.

    * In a few places it leaves the false impression (1) that all OA journals charge APCs and (2) that all publishers are responding the federal policies by charging APCs to publish fed-funded research.

    ...
    Speaking technically, it is easy enough to bypass, but the real problem isn't really a technical one. The problem is that a decision was made, somewhere inside the Parliamentary Service, that automated access to public parliamentary data should be treated as a threat."

  21. 🚨 Breaking news, folks: it turns out API keys are not like your diary's lock after all! Who would have thought? 😱 Apparently, sharing keys meant for public use with a private access service can lead to some unwanted surprises! Google must be thrilled! 🔓🤦‍♂️

  26. Good Morning Folks! I don't normally do Saturday posts, but last night was our semi-monthly play session for #PublicAccess, and I talked about some of the adventures we have been getting up to. My character the Burned-Out Punk and the Professional Athelete, have developed this whole buddy cop movie thing, which is funny.

  27. Prior to applying for federal funding, it's helpful to understand the expectations around depositing manuscripts into agency designated repositories.

  28. Fascinating read about 20+ years of work leading up to the 2022 OSTP Nelson memo, ensuring taxpayer-funded research is immediately available to the public to freely access & fully use. Includes mention of SPARC's advocacy in #PublicAccess #OpenAccess #OpenScience.

  29. The #Canadian Association for Work and #Labour Studies #CAWLS is calling on the federal government to immediately restore #PublicAccess to #DataTracking work stoppages and to collect more information on #LabourRelations.

    It has now been over three months since Employment and Social Development Canada #ESDC quietly removed data tracking work stoppages from its website. This move also affected #StatisticsCanada tables which report strike and lockout numbers historically. The removal of these #data deprives #researchers and #unions of critical information.
