New bill would increase free access to research - eCampus News

Libraries cheer passage of strong open access legislation in U.S. Senate. Public access to federally-funded research took one move forward with the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ vote to support the Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act of 2015 (FASTR). The legislation would accelerate scientific discovery and fuel innovation by making articles reporting on publicly-funded scientific research freely accessible online for anyone to read and build upon. http://www.ecampusnews.com/top-news/access-to-research-543/
