Enhancing Public Access to Publications. Per Article
Enhancing Public Access to Publications. Per Article I. Section A, DS requires that the Recipient shall forward one electronic (PDF) copy of all publications generated under this award to the Program Officer at the time of publication. The XXX will make all publications publicaly available via the DHS storefront in PubMed Central (PMC): xxxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/pmc/funder/dhs in a manner consistent with copyright law no later than 12 months after the official date of publication. DHS Policy explicitly recognizes and upholds the principles of copyright. Authors and journals can continue to assert copyright in publications that include research findings from DHS-funded activities, in accordance with current practice. While individual copyright arrangements can take many forms, DHS encourages investigators to sign agreements that specifically allow the manuscript or software to be deposited with DHS for U.S. Government use after journal publication. Institutions and investigators may wish to develop particular contract terms in consultation with their own legal counsel, as appropriate. But, as an example, the kind of language that an author or institution might add to a copyright agreement includes the following: “Journal (or Software recipient) acknowledges that the Author retains the right to provide a final copy of the final manuscript or software application to DHS upon acceptance for Journal publication or thereafter, for public access purposes through DHS’s websites or for public archiving purposes.”
