CDC Plan for Increasing Access to Scientific Publications and Digital Scientific Data Generated with CDC Funding.

摘要

On February 22, 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a memorandum titled “Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research” (OSTP Memo). It directs federal agencies and offices to develop and submit plans to OSTP. The public access requirements will be applied prospectively. This plan describes the steps Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) (referred to as CDC throughout this document) are taking to maximize access to intramural and extramural data without charging user fees in response to the OSTP Memo. The CDC public access plan for publications outlines the requirements for the implementation of the OSTP Memo at CDC. The goal of this plan is to ensure that the public has free access to peer-reviewed publications funded by CDC. To reach this goal, authors must have a way to submit their manuscripts into a repository system that allows access to the manuscript and ensures that funded manuscripts are captured. The key points to this plan are the manuscript submission system, document repository, and compliance management.
