Abstract
Closest Sun shot, methane rising and a Plan S development
Highlights
Plan S, which kicks in from 2021, aims to make scholarly works free to read as soon as they are published
If a journal doesn’t allow that, researchers can instead post an accepted version of their article — an author accepted manuscript (AAM) — in an online repository once the paper appears
This comes with a condition that has been anathema to many subscription journals: the AAM must be shared under a liberal ‘CC-BY’ licence that lets others republish and translate the work
Summary
Plan S, which kicks in from 2021, aims to make scholarly works free to read as soon as they are published. PLAN S TO ALLOW PUBLISHING IN ANY JOURNAL Funding agencies behind the open-access (OA) initiative Plan S have announced a policy that could make it possible for researchers to bypass journals’ restrictions on open publishing.
