''The move is part of a welcome (and [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Category:Digital_Citizen 'digital citizen' advocated]) trend in the worldwide scientific community towards making knowledge more readily available.''

''“Making our research data easier to access will greatly magnify the impact of our research,” NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan said in a statement. “As scientists and engineers, we work by building upon a foundation laid by others.” [https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/ostp_public_access_memo_2013.pdf Read More] about the initiative and [http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0822/NASA-opens-research-to-public-Why-that-s-a-big-deal "Why It's a Big Deal"].''

''“At NASA, we are celebrating this opportunity to extend access to our extensive portfolio of scientific and technical publications,” said NASA Deputy Administrator Dava Newman. “Through open access and innovation we invite the global community to join us in [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Earth_Science_Research_from_Space exploring Earth], [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Look_at_how_thin_our_atmosphere_is air] and [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Category:Planetary_Science space].”''
