Press release, May 2, 2006: “In an effort to increase taxpayers’ access to federally funded research, U.S. Senators Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the bi-partisan Federal Research Public Access Act of 2006, today. The bill requires every federal agency with an annual research budget of more than $100 million to implement a public access policy. The policy must ensure that articles generated through research funded by that agency are made available online within six months of publication.”
