ttee membership must include representatives from NIST, NSF, DOE, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense (DoD), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and any other federal department or agency considered appropriate by the president. The Subcommittee is responsible for establishing the goals and priorities of the NQI program as well as assessing infrastructure needs, the state of the current QIS workforce, the global outlook on QIS R&D, and opportunities for international cooperation. In addition, coordinating QIS research and budgets across federal agencies falls under the purview of the Subcommittee, which is directed to develop a five-year strategic plan and an annual program budget report for the QIS to be submitted to Congress in conjunction with the president’s annual budget request. Lastly, the Advisory Committee must be established by the president and include qualified QIS representatives

he traditional scientific process has long been ruled by the “publish or perish” mantra. This tradition is now shifting, as more research is being made available to a broader audience as part of the move toward open science. This shift represents a new way of sharing knowledge using digital technologies and new collaborative tools. It has become a core strategy in Europe as a means to disseminate research to a wider audience—a way to boost innovation and competitiveness. The EU-funded project OPENUP investigated the challenges facing this changing science landscape. For example, the total number of scholarly publications rose by 23% between 2008 and 2014, according to a report by UNESCO.
This increase in output and the demand for more open, transparent, and reproducible science has led to changing requirements for those involved in the research process, such as publishers and funders. OPENUP examined different aspects of open science, such as peer review for conferences, research data, transferring research to the web, and reaching businesses and the public with research output. The project team launched seven pilot projects to validate their initial findings and test various aspects of the academic review cycle in life sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, and energy. The pilot projects connected targeted research communities, empowering them to apply and adopt innovative open science approaches.
from industry, academia, and the national laboratories. Tasked with providing independent assessments of trends in QIS as well as progress, implementation, and effectiveness of the NQI, the Advisory Committee is required to submit its findings and recommendations to the president and Congress in a biennial report. Streamlining QIS R&D is critical because of the possible impacts on both the economy and national security. According to a recent report on quantu
