This document outlines the Smithsonian Institution's plan to provide increased public access to certain peer-reviewed scholarly publications and supporting digital research data that arise from research funded, in whole or in part, by a federal funding source ("Federally Funded Research Materials" or "FFRM"), consistent with the principles of access under the Office of Science and Technology Policy Memorandum dated February 22, 2013. This plan is effective as of October 1, 2015; only FFRM submitted for publication on or after the effective date shall be covered.
