There’s lots of buzz about the OSTP (or Nelson) Memo and how the proposed guidelines for US Government Funders will be changing. While the biggest impact will be on grantees, publishers will Hi need to determine how to best support authors’ data sharing needs, and the guidance around identifiers, repository deposit, and open data will require careful considerations. Join us for a discussion that that includes 1) an overview of the guidance issued from government agencies to date and what publishers are considering to be compliant; 2) practical implications for editors, including communicating with authors, boards, internal stakeholders in productions; and 3) implications of making data available, including how, where, and considerations for privacy.
