The Federal Government claims a license to exercise all rights under copyright to use a federally-funded work for federal purposes, including depositing works resulting from DOE funded research in an open access repository. In general, publisher policies allow for authors to comply with DOE policy, though they often require a delay in making publications available. With this in mind, DOE allows for an embargo of public access to such works up to twelve months after publication. However, they also require that the metadata and abstract about the scholarly publication be publicly available at the time of publication.

DOE will work with FundRef to facilitate tracking of publications resulting from DOE funding to assess and address any gaps in the PAGES repository. While FundRef matures, OSTI will use various citation sources (using “acknowledgement” and “affiliation” fields) to identify any gaps in the PAGES metadata submissions. At full maturity, FundRef will be the primary tool for identifying how many accepted manuscripts should be included in PAGES in a given year. OSTI will work with STI managers at labs and the University’s Sponsored Projects to acquire any missing manuscript links and metadata. For the participating publishers in CHORUS, the FundRef tool will identify any article not properly represented and available through PAGES.
