Data from "An Analysis of Federal Policy on Public Access to Scientific Research Data"

Abstract

The 2013 Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Memo on federally-funded research directed agencies with research and development budgets above $100 million to develop and release plans to increase and broaden access to research results, both published literature and data. The agency responses have generated discussion and interest but are yet to be analyzed and compared. This data accompanies a paper in which we analyze 19 federal agencies responded to the Holdren memo on issues of scientific data and the extent of their compliance to the directives outlined in the memo.
