Bill overview
This bill, the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee Reform Act of 2020, aims to increase transparency in how the National Library of Medicine selects and removes journals from its databases like MEDLINE. It requires the Library to publicly disclose the metrics used for these decisions, ensures the committee members are appointed independently, and establishes a more formal process for journals to challenge delisting decisions, including a 60-day response period and an opportunity to appeal.
