>>It was expanded back in 2013 to all federal organizations that spend more than $100M in research. Why some arbitrary figure like $100M? why not $1M or $1K or for that matter even $1? It should be other way round, if any research gets any funding (even $1 or 1 cent) then also the papers coming out of that research should be immediately released to public else they should not accept that grant/funding. The journals should not get a free ride for 1 year or so.
