NOAA plan for increasing public access to research results : a response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy memorandum 'Increasing access to the results of Federal funded scientific research' issued February 22, 2013 Response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy memorandum 'Increasing access to the results of Federal funded scientific research' issued February 22, 2013 Increasing access to the results of Federal funded scientific research NOAA PARR document

"This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plan to increase Public Access to Research Results (PARR) describes activities that will be undertaken by NOAA in order to meet the goals and requirements of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Memorandum Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research issued 2013 February 22 (hereafter referred to as the OSTP PARR Memo). The goal of the OSTP PARR Memo is to increase the public accessibility of publications and digital data produced by federal researchers or by recipients of federal funds. These results were funded by taxpayers, and improving access to them should help move science and our economy forward. The OSTP objectives for digital data are in excellent agreement with those expressed in the NOAA Environmental Data Management Framework. To the extent feasible and consistent with applicable law and policy, agency mission, resource constraints, and U.S. national, homeland, and economic security, the NOAA PARR plan supports the objectives of the OSTP PARR Memo regarding publications and data. The NOAA PARR Plan also supports the provisions of the US Open Data Policy regarding public agency data inventories and the use of machine-readable and open formats, data standards, and common core and extensible metadata for all new information creation and collection efforts. Specific NOAA actions are described in Section 7, below, of the NOAA PARR plan, and each action includes reference(s) to the corresponding objective of the OSTP PARR Memo. The NOAA PARR plan is designed to promote the goal of maximizing the impact and accountability of the Federal research investment"--Page 2.
