The source from which this claim is derived is essentially a blog post from a speculative (and perhaps far reaching) conclusion drawn from an individual's interpretation of the bill in question. Blogger said that the wording ''might'' result in the exclusion of datasets from public access. Ill check back in a week or so to see if this has been changed or if others disagree with me.

I would like to see a more explicit description of the content of the proposed act -- the actual restrictions. [[Special:Contributions/62.167.72.194|62.167.72.194]] ([[User talk:62.167.72.194|talk]]) 20:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC) |

DYK?
Any suggestions for a DYK? -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 03:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Some ideas, to get started:
- ... that the Research Works Act was introduced in the United States House of Representatives to prevent open access mandates for federally funded research?
- ... that the Research Works Act was co-sponsored by Representatives Darrell Issa and Carolyn B. Maloney, who were both sponsored by the publisher Elsevier?
- ... that the Research Works Act introduced in the United States House of Representatives calls for a ban on open access mandates for federally funded research?
- Please add or edit as you see fit. Deadline for nomination: 03:24, January 12, 2012 (UTC).
- -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 12:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- I like the first one for its clear description. Thanks for adding the related legislation section, by the way. Gobonobo T C 03:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- +1 --DarTar (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think the first two collide with some of the DYK policies, so I added a third one that presumably does not. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 09:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- I went ahead and nominated the third hook here. Feel free to revise or add ALTs. Gobonobo T C 21:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- It got promoted and is now scheduled for Sunday, Jan 15, 8am - 4pm UTC. I inquired about moving this to a workday's afternoon UTC. --Mietchen (talk) 15:41, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Rescheduled for Monday 16, 4pm-midnight UTC. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 11:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently, it's up for 4pm today. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 08:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- Rescheduled for Monday 16, 4pm-midnight UTC. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 11:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Definition of private work
It'd be nice to capture the growing debate over the definition of federally funded published research as "private-sector research works". This post has some excellent quotes by AAP CEO Tom Allen and Duke Scholarly Communication Officer Kevin Smith. Are there enough materials to create a dedicated section? --DarTar (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
perhaps an overstatement?
"If enacted, it would also severely restrict the sharing of scientific data.[6]"
The source from which this claim is derived is essentially a blog post from a speculative (and perhaps far reaching) conclusion drawn from an individual's interpretation of the bill in question. Blogger said that the wording might result in the exclusion of datasets from public access. Ill check back in a week or so to see if this has been changed or if others disagree with me.
