... make the results of federally-funded research publically available free of charge within 12 months after original publication.
Doesn't that shift the burden on agencies rather than publishers, allowing them to publish on paid-for journals but then making them available after a year by paying some open access fee to the publisher?
Also, if publicly funded research is to be publicly available, shouldn't it be so right away?
I just feel that this measure is incomplete and tries to keep at least part of the publishers' inflow of cash.
