This doesn't seem right. Instead, the author should be forced to send a copy to the whitehouse when they send it to the journal, and the whithouse should make it available for free as a government output.

This is being downvoted for some reason, but there's no reason that some govt branch couldn't require a copy that they would publish as part of the grant.

In addition, by publishing an "agency-designated repository", presumably it would be vacuumed up by NARA as the government equivalent of the "wayback" machine, so that the published record could not be altered without an audit trail.

Current grant agreements already include a provision for licensing to the government; however, they also offer a 12-month embargo before being made public. This seems to be the "paywall" they are speaking of. The policy change is to eliminate the embargo period, so it can be made public immediately. https://www.engadget.com/white-house-says-federally-funded-research-must-be-made-available-publicly-right-away-191506413.html https://www.engadget.com/white-house-says-federally-funded-r...
