[drf:328] Fwd: [SOAF] Public Access Mandate Made Law



drfのみなさま

 内島@金沢です。

 お知らせした国立保健研究所(National Institute of Health=NIH)の義務化法案が
成立したようです。受け取っておられる方も多いと思いますが、下記はSPARCのMLでのニ
ュースです。SPARC運動にとっては、代替雑誌創刊運動以来の大きな成果でしょうか。

 SPARC JAPANでも述べておられるように、実際に「セルフアーカイブ」するのは誰か、
研究者とすれば各大学の図書館は学内アドボカシーを進める必要が出てくるのではない
か?など色々と考えます。アメリカの機関リポジトリにとっても大きな追い風のような
気がします。

PUBLIC ACCESS MANDATE MADE LAW
President Bush signs omnibus appropriations bill,
including National Institutes of Health research access provision

Washington, D.C. ・December 26, 2007 ・President 
Bush has signed into law the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764), which 
includes a provision directing the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide the public 
with open online access to findings from its 
funded research. This is the first time the U.S. 
government has mandated public access to research funded by a major agency.

The provision directs the NIH to change its 
existing Public Access Policy, implemented as a 
voluntary measure in 2005, so that participation 
is required for agency-funded investigators. 
Researchers will now be required to deposit 
electronic copies of their peer-reviewed 
manuscripts into the National Library of 
Medicine痴 online archive, PubMed Central. Full 
texts of the articles will be publicly available 
and searchable online in PubMed Central no later 
than 12 months after publication in a journal.
添ears of unrelenting commitment and dedication 
by patient groups and our allies in the research 
community have at last borne fruit,・said Sharon 
Terry, President and CEO of Genetic Alliance. 
展e池e proud of Congress for their unrelenting 
commitment to ensuring the success of public 
access to NIH-funded research. As patients, 
patient advocates, and families, we look forward 
to having expanded access to the research we need.・
