"If I were the NIH, I would make it illegal for grant recipients to publish anywhere that does not support open access”

Don’t they do that? https://publicaccess.nih.gov:

"To advance science and improve human health, NIH makes the peer-reviewed articles it funds publicly available on PubMed Central. The NIH public access policy requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to PubMed Central immediately upon acceptance for publication"




That is good news indeed! Thank you for letting me know. This is my first publicly funded work and I am not familiar with many of the policies. I will sleep better knowing that our work will not be holed up exclusively in the Elsevier-beast.

They're allowed to drag their feet a little bit, but yes.
