Answering the White House’s call for more scientific openness, NSF is updating its Public Access Plan to meet government-wide requirements. In 2024, NSF will publish Public Access Plan 2.0 to enable immediate access to publications and underlying data. NSF will enforce these new policies no later than January 2025. An update to the Public Access Plan focusing on researcher affiliations and funding and persistent digital identifiers for researchers, research products and awards will be published in 2026, for implementation by January 2027.  </p> <p>Watch this page in the coming months as we update our policies to comply with this new guidance. </p></div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="palette palette--light-gray layout-container--wrapper nsf-layout nsf-layout--twocol-60-40 full-browser-width"> <div class="nsf-layout--outer"> <div class="nsf-layout--inner"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--headline"> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockcomponent-text nsf-component"> <section class="text__container"> <h2 id="nsfs-public-access-policy-d03" class="text__title">NSF's public access policy</h2> <div class="body-1"><p><a name="policies"></a> </p></div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="nsf-layout--inner"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--first"> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockcomponent-text nsf-component"> <section class="text__container"> <div class="body-1"><p> <a name="policies"></a> </p><p><strong>Public access requirements </strong> </p></div> <div class="text__content text-formatted"><p>NSF policy ensures that research outputs from NSF awards are publicly accessible.
