Richard Van Noorden, Nature; Arguments over European open-access plan heat up
"Debate is intensifying over Plan S, an initiative backed by 15
research funders to mandate that, by 2020, their research papers are
open access as soon as they are published.
The Europe-led statement was launched in September, but details of its implementation haven’t yet been released. And while many open-access supporters have welcomed Plan S, others are now objecting to some of its specifics.
On 5 November, more than 600 researchers, including two Nobel laureates, published an open letter
calling the plan “too risky for science”, “unfair”, and “a serious
violation of academic freedom” for the scientists affected; more than
950 have now signed."
