2013年科学和技术政策办公室（OSTP）关于联邦资助研究的备忘录指导研究和开发预算超过1亿美元的机构制定和发布计划，以增加和扩大对研究成果的访问，包括出版的文献和数据。机构的答复引起了讨论和兴趣，但尚待分析和比较。在本文中，我们研究了19个联邦机构如何回应备忘录，写的约翰霍尔，对科学数据的问题，以及他们遵守备忘录中概述的指令的程度。通过对这些答复的内容进行比较分析和仔细阅读，我们呈现了联邦科学机构遵守备忘录的准备情况的各种情况。虽然一些机构，特别是那些长期支持和开展科学的机构，得分很高，但其他答复表明，一些机构只采取了一些措施来实施符合备忘录的政策。这些结果对数据策展社区很有意义，因为它们揭示了联邦政府的不同机构如何处理他们对研究数据管理的责任，以及新的政策和要求如何继续影响科学家和研究社区。
The 2013 Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Memo on federally-funded research directed agencies with research and development budgets above $100 million to develop and release plans to increase and broaden access to research results, both published literature and data. The agency responses have generated discussion and interest but are yet to be analyzed and compared. In this paper, we examine how 19 federal agencies responded to the memo, written by John Holdren, on issues of scientific data and the extent of their compliance to the directives outlined in the memo. We present a varied picture of the readiness of federal science agencies to comply with the memo through a comparative analysis and close reading of the contents of these responses. While some agencies, particularly those with a long history of supporting and conducting science, scored well, other responses indicate that some agencies have only taken a few steps towards implementing policies that comply with the memo. These results are of interest to the data curation community as they reveal how different agencies across the federal government approach their responsibilities for research data management, and how new policies and requirements might continue to affect scientists and research communities.
