@DarrellIssa If you're so interested in openness, why did you author HR 3699, which prevents open access to federally funded research?
DarrellIssaDarrell Issa
@timoreilly I understand your question, but
HR 3699 does nothing to cut off access to federal funded research data. #opendata #openscience

@timoreilly we included this to protect #openscience & #opendata: "...does not include progress reports or raw data outputs..."

@timoreilly what NIH currently does is post the final pre-publication draft, which is intellectual property, of a scholarly journal

@DarrellIssa @timoreilly It's not the journal's intellectual prop. Authors hold copyright until they sign (& hopefully amend) pub agreement.

@timoreilly it's like a reporter writing a story about one of our hearings. the committee does the work, available to everyone for free...

@DarrellIssa Your analogy is not correct: the scientists are doing the work of _both_ the committee and the reporter... (cc @timoreilly )

Thoughtful response from @DarrellIssa to @timoreilly comments on HR 3699 Where does #open end and #ip start for gov-backed work?

@DarrellIssa Several thoughts: 1) What @michaelneilsen said. 2) the NIH policy you appear to be targeting gives journals a 1 year exclusive
timoreillyTim O'Reilly
@DarrellIssa ...suggest you think about how to proactively support open science. Forward-thinking journals don't need your protection.
