Umm...not sure what to tell you about that, other than you’re potentially out of compliance with the terms you and your institution agreed to. I think there is a 6-12 month “exclusivity” period still, and some journals handle that automatically if you acknowledge federal funding. For example, Current Biology moved our stuff out from behind the paywall automatically on its publication anniversary. - Here’s the NIH policy: https://publicaccess.nih.gov/policy.htm https://publicaccess.nih.gov/policy.htm - The NSF: https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/public_access/index.jsp https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/public_access/index... - DoE: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/08/f18/DOE_Public_Access%20Plan_FINAL.pdf https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/08/f18/DOE_Publ... - DoD: https://discover.dtic.mil/public-access-requirements-incorporated-into-the-dod-stip/ https://discover.dtic.mil/public-access-requirements-incorpo... I’m not sure if anyone has been sanctioned for not following these, but NIH progress reports/renewals require a PMCID for any papers you want to claim. You want to claim a lot on these to demonstrate productivity, so....there’s a good incentive to do this.
