While scholarly publishing organizations have made great strides in making their works findable by a Google search, the pressure from disruptive technologies continues.One of the most significant and far-reaching pushes has been for more access and openness regarding the scientific data upon which scholarly publications rest. Initiatives in the United States and the European Union have made clear that scholarly articles documenting government-funded research must be openly available (see Open Access), and they have gone further to indicate that data generated as part of government-funded research must be made openly available.
