crln-8729	Williams, Corey	Washington Hotline	2012-03-01	1	.pdf	application/pdf	577	25	50	Open access legislation introduced On February 9, 2012, members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives introduced identical bills with bipartisan sup- port aimed at improving access to federally funded research. As with FRPAA legislation introduced in previous Congresses dating back to 2006, these new, identical bills would: • require federal departments and agen- cies with an annual extramural research budget of $100 million to develop a policy to ensure researchers submit an electronic copy of the final manuscript accepted for publica- tion in a peer-reviewed journal; • develop a policy ensuring that research- ers submit an electronic copy of the final manuscripts that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal; • ensure that manuscripts are preserved in a stable digital repository maintained by that agency or in another suitable repository that permits free public access, interoperability, and long-term preservation; and • require that each taxpayer-funded manuscript be made available to the public online and without cost, no later than six months after the article has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.	cache/crln-8729.pdf	txt/crln-8729.txt
