[Scholarly Communication] 

Following a very successful petition drive in Europe to support an open access mandate, a broad coalition of libraries, health groups, students, and consumers is jointly supporting an online petition in support of public access to publicly funded research in the United States. This petition, which is open to supporters around the world, will demonstrate to U.S. policymakers the depth and breadth of support for access to federally funded research in the U.S. and will add support for the reintroduction and passage of the Federal Research Public Access Act.

To register your support for free and open access to research funded by the U.S. federal government, sign the petition.
