The California Taxpayer Access to Publicly Funded Research Act, until January 1, 2020, establishes publication requirements for a grantee receiving funding from the State Department of Public Health. The act requires the department to include specified terms and conditions in a research grant, which are required to be adhered to by the grantee as a condition of receiving the grant. These conditions include a requirement that grantees report and make certain information available to the department or the public, as specified, about any published manuscript concerning their research not later than 12 months after publication. For a manuscript accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, existing law requires the grantee to ensure that an electronic version of the peer-reviewed manuscript is available on an appropriate publicly accessible database approved by the department, including the California Digital Open Source Library.
