The US Government Accountability Office (#GAO) just reviewed the #OpenAccess policies at nine federal agencies.
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-26-107738

A few highlights:

* Among other things, GAO looked for compliance with the #NelsonMemo. This is further evidence that the #Trump admin supports the memo.

* It encourages #NSF and #USDA to go further to ensure #reuse rights. (That would be good.) But it assumes that the other agencies are already doing enough to ensure reuse rights. (I can't agree with this.)

* It praises #NIH for taking steps to reduce money spent on grantee #APCs, and encourages other agencies to follow the NIH lead on this.

* In a few places it leaves the false impression (1) that all OA journals charge APCs and (2) that all publishers are responding the federal policies by charging APCs to publish fed-funded research.

"Democracy runs on information. ... Transparency isn't a feature of Aotearoa New Zealand's democracy; it's the foundation of it.
...
Speaking technically, it is easy enough to bypass, but the real problem isn't really a technical one. The problem is that a decision was made, somewhere inside the Parliamentary Service, that automated access to public parliamentary data should be treated as a threat."
