The 2022 Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) “Nelson memo” on new public access requirements for federally funded research has led to a new and more detailed focus on requirements for repositories of all kinds. New opportunities for repositing data and other innovative research outputs have raised new considerations for both nonprofit and commercial repositories. Dr. Halbert will discuss these topics, emerging guidance, and interagency coordination efforts in the recent declaration of 2023 as the Year of Open Science. 

Speaker

As science advisor for public access at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Dr. Martin Halbert leads the NSF’s programmatic activities aimed at advancing the understanding and adoption of open science practices utilizing public access mechanisms, and agency efforts to ensure that research products arising from NSF-funded projects are publicly accessible. He has an interdisciplinary PhD from Emory University. His research and primary areas of expertise include digital scholarship in the humanities, research library services, and building inter-institutional collaborative alliances for new research functions. 

The Digital Research and Curation Center (DRCC) at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries supports open scholarship through the development of digital infrastructure and applications. The DRCC has developed digital scholarship resources for a range of disciplines and communities across the divisions of Johns Hopkins University.
