1. The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of enabling public access to publicly funded research, including papers, data, and research processes. 2. It notes that while making papers openly accessible through author manuscript deposit or open access journals has made progress, sharing full data and detailed methodological descriptions remains much more difficult. 3. The document argues that as a major public funder of research, STFC should lead the effort to establish international standards and infrastructure for open sharing of all research outputs and processes in order to maximize the return on public investment in science.

The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/

- 26. The Council reaffirms its long-standing view that authors choose where to place their research for publication. Furthermore, the Council now also strongly encourages researchers to deposit research outputs resulting from use of Council facilities or grants in appropriate open access repositories. Authors should at the earliest opportunity: • Personally deposit, or otherwise ensure the deposit of, a copy of articles published in journals or conference proceedings in an appropriate e-print repository. • Wherever possible, personally deposit, or otherwise ensure the deposit of, the bibliographical metadata relating to such articles, including a link to the publisher's website, at or around the time of publication. http://www.stfc.ac.uk/Publications/sci/outputs.aspx
