Grading Government Transparency: Scientists’ Freedom to Speak (and Tweet) at Federal Agencies (2015), Union of Concerned Scientists
“In 2013, more than two years after the Obama administration had issued a directive ordering reform of federal scientific integrity policies – including those governing media access – we published the first version of Grading Government Transparency. This new report added social media policies to the mix, and expanded the number of agencies to 17. Our analysis showed that while many agencies had substantially improved their policies since 2008, significant issues remained.”
