Science (General)

The National Science Foundation released its Public Access Plan 2.0 in February 2023. This document describes the requirements for NSF-funded research data and publications. We highlight some key points below:

• The NSF's public access requirement can be satisfied by depositing the author's manuscript into the NSF's Public Access Repository with no embargo; hence there is no need to pay OA fees for the version of record.
  • Interested users can refer to NSF-PAR's guide to depositing for more information.

• The NSF no longer allows an embargo when depositing into NSF-PAR.
