Submission + - NIH Research To Go Public 1
shofutex writes: According to the Washington Post, the omnibus spending bill recently passed includes provisions to make NIH-funded research publicly available.
Under the bill's terms, scientists getting grant money from the National Institutes of Health would now have to submit to the NIH a final copy of their research papers when those papers are accepted for publication in a journal. An NIH database would then post those papers, free to the public, within 12 months after publication.
