What's up with the VA's implementation of the 2022 OSTP memo?
SPARC still lists it as lacking an updated publication and data sharing requrement policy.

Good Morning Folks! I don't normally do Saturday posts, but last night was our semi-monthly play session for #PublicAccess, and I talked about some of the adventures we have been getting up to. My character the Burned-Out Punk and the Professional Athelete, have developed this whole buddy cop movie thing, which is funny.

Prior to applying for federal funding, it's helpful to understand the expectations around depositing manuscripts into agency designated repositories. Details on that & more in our new resource to help authors navigate #publicaccess requirements & publisher policies: https://sparcopen.org/our-work/guide-for-authors-complying-with-policies/

Fascinating read about 20+ years of work leading up to the 2022 OSTP Nelson memo, ensuring taxpayer-funded research is immediately available to the public to freely access & fully use. Includes mention of SPARC's advocacy in #PublicAccess #OpenAccess #OpenScience.

The #Canadian Association for Work and #Labour Studies #CAWLS is calling on the federal government to immediately restore #PublicAccess to #DataTracking work stoppages and to collect more information on #LabourRelations.

It has now been over three months since Employment and Social Development Canada #ESDC quietly removed data tracking work stoppages from its website. This move also affected #StatisticsCanada tables which report strike and lockout numbers historically. The removal of these #data deprives #researchers and #unions of critical information.
