As announced by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), "Starting in 2026 any scientific publication that receives federal funding will need to be openly accessible on the day it's published." That's four years away and as we know a lot can happen in that time. But it's still good news and something I think will influence Canadian policy as well. "When research is widely available to other researchers and the public, it can save lives, provide policymakers with the tools to make critical decisions, and drive more equitable outcomes across every sector of society."
