In 2008, the <a href=\"https:\/\/publicaccess.nih.gov\/policy.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIH released a Public Access Policy<\/a> that mandates that research funded from NIH support be made publicly available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/about\/intro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PubMed Central (PMC)<\/a>, the National Library of Medicine (NLM)\u2019s free online archive and repository. And just earlier this year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sharing.nih.gov\/data-management-and-sharing-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIH released a Data Management and Sharing Policy<\/a> which promotes the open sharing of scientific data. This policy offers best practices on how researchers can create data management plans, guidance on how to select the most appropriate repository for sharing data, and information on how to budget for data management and sharing activities.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a collection of NIH, NLM, and NNLM resources on open access, as well as some additional resources from open access allies.
