Beginning July 1, researchers receiving funding from the NIH must make their scientific papers freely available upon publication in peer-reviewed journals. This public-access policy, instituted under Biden and expedited by the Trump administration, aims to provide taxpayers equitable access to federally funded research. While likely to cause initial confusion among universities regarding compliance, the policy aligns with a broader global trend favoring open-access research, similar to mandates set by several European funding agencies since 2021.
"The NIH policy has been welcomed by open-access (OA) advocates, and reflects a global shift towards making publicly funded research freely available."
"This policy acceleration under Trump, despite his administration’s cuts to equity research, is intended to ensure equitable access to federally funded research."
