Abstract

With its introduction by presidential memoranda in February 2013, the United States federal government has begun to lay out a set of guidelines and best practces for the management of data that is colected in the process of performing research that is at least in part funded by the federal government. This presentation will explore the status of requirements as well as the emerging best practices for data management in the geosciences based on the Public Access to Federally Funded Research mandate and the subsequent Public Access Plans that the mandate requires.
