- Abstract
The Committee's report provided important validation for the Roundtable's recommendations and OSTP's guidelines, development of which was well under way. Within months, spurred on by the Holdren memo, a group of publishers began to develop CHORUS (originally an acronym for Clearing House for the Open Research of the United States, but dropped as an acronym when the organization started working in other countries) as a vehicle for providing public access to articles from the publisher sites, exemplifying the kind of public-private collaboration envisioned by the Roundtable and OSTP (Dylla & Salmon, 2020). The Scholarly Publishing Roundtable was formed in 2009 at the request of a US Congressional Committee to develop recommendations for public access policy. Although the guidelines from Sokolov indicated that the group was not expected to revisit the NIH Policy, which the Committee and the White House considered settled, the Roundtable spent time discussing the perceived pros and cons of the policy in order to identify features that might be promulgated across the other federal funding agencies.
