Last week, the United States announced an updated policy guidance on open access that will substantially expand public access to science not just in America, but worldwide.

As per the guidance, all US federal agencies must put in place policies and plans so anyone anywhere can immediately and freely access the peer-reviewed publications and data arising from research they fund.

The way the world is heading certain scientific discoveries/breakthroughs/etc should be shared freely
A good example is if someone gets a reliable fusion reactor working and shares exactly how to build them with everyone

remember the first couple of times the USSA shared their new fission technology with Japan, that was really quite something

Public access to peer reviewed articles. What a strange idea.

Would I be right in saying that open access means more paywalls?

Do you remember the “freedom of information” act in the USA?

You now have completely free access to US government documents that look like this.
