"All agencies will fully implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo, no later than December 31, 2025." Why does this need a 3 year transition period? Six months would be plenty.
Maybe it's less about the agencies technical ability and more about making it long enough that the current beneficiaries of this don't oppose it as strongly as they would if it disrupted their biz in the next 2-4 quarters so that it can actually get done.
It's funny how the political class understands the things like this that need to be done, they just don't care at all until they are heading into an election cycle they are about to lose. Then suddenly the political will is suddenly found.
Somehow this doesn't seem like an issue a politician is going to campaign on.. I mean you can talk about women's rights/abortion, gun violence, student debt, the economy, Ukraine, or... access to federally funded research? There are only so many press hits, tv ad dollars, and speech time politicians have to get their message out. I doubt this makes anyone's list.

At least in the Washington understanding, an "industry" is any profit-seeking entity or association which has lobbyists representing its interests. (What would you say are the "products" of the hedge-fund "industry"?)
I suppose you could call this a special-interest group instead, but it's a little pedantic.

> Why does this need a 3 year transition period? Six months would be plenty. For the same reason aircraft carriers need five miles to stop - it’s a really big ship and there’s an extraordinary amount of inertia to be overcome.

Public money should always mean public access. Not just for journals, but for anything. If one red cent of taxpayer money goes to it, the taxpayer should get it for free. Hopefully the trend continues.
Seems like a good thing. Any downsides to this? Any low hanging fruit it misses in making research more open access?
