I really like seeing this bill come up - the opposite of the Research Works Act, and a bill that will greatly improve access to research in the U.S. I am concerned, however, that it uses “peer reviewed journals” as the standard for mandating publication. Computer science does most of its ongoing publication in conferences, not journals; also, specifically naming “journals” seems to me to invite name games, unless journal is defined sufficiently broadly in the bill's text. I would prefer to see the requirements kick in when research is published in any peer-reviewed publication. But still, this bill is a great step forward, and things like this are details that can hopefully be worked out.
