Inside the Battle Over OMB’s Shocking Proposed Rule Changes: How Top US Chefs Are Fighting Back on Research Funding
Is scholarly publishing resilient enough to survive the new OMB rules?
Roy Kaufman
As I write this on July 6, more than 80k comments have already been submitted to the OMB. CCC’s submission, like these comments, will be short. The proposed Uniform Guidance has quite a few challenges. We focus on the proposed limitations on funding for publications, author fees, and conferences. These will collectively undermine the ability of researchers to share the results of US-funded research and will undermine the stability of publishers and learned societies. Research will become the proverbial “tree that falls in the woods.” Those who rely on the research, including businesses and universities, will suffer.
