One of which might be the public funding agency:
1. getting a signed release at the beginning of the funding with 
permission for the agency to take responsibility
2. providing the pro forma for the submitted reports from the 
researcher for consistency
3. putting the submitted reports out in OA themselves for public access.

Contracted research may have to operate under a different regime. "He 
who pays the piper calls the tune."

Discuss.

sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
