Does this law allow the government to break copyright owned by the paywalled distributors? Because many of them simply require submitters to transfer all copyrights of the articles to them.
- Fomite 13y agoThe way this is currently handled is that when an author identifies that their article is funded by the NIH, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute or some others, it is automatically flagged to become public access in a year. Several of my own articles that were behind paywalls are now open access under said system. Free access and copyright transfer aren't necessarily in opposition.
