Plan S

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plan Sis an initiative foropen-accessscience publishinglaunched in 2018[1][2]by "cOAlition S",[3]a consortium of national research agencies and funders from twelve European countries. The plan requires scientists and researchers who benefit from state-funded research organisations and institutions to publish their work inopen repositoriesor injournalsthat are available to all by 2021.[4]The "S" stands for "shock".[5]

Per 2017 figures, the mandate of Plan S will cover about 6% of worldwide research articles, including about one third of articles inNatureandScience.Major publishers have been planning to accommodate this mandate by offering (or allowing)open accessoptions to authors.[6]

Principles[edit]

The plan, launched in 2018, was structured around ten principles.[3]The key principle states that by 2021, research funded by public or private grants must be published inopen-accessjournals or platforms, or made immediately available in open access repositories without anembargo.The ten principles are:

  1. authors should retaincopyrighton their publications, which must be published under an open license such asCreative Commons;
  2. the members of the coalition should establish robust criteria and requirements for compliant open access journals and platforms;
  3. they should also provide incentives for the creation of compliant open access journals and platforms if they do not yet exist;
  4. publication fees should be covered by the funders or universities, not individual researchers;
  5. such publication fees should be standardized and capped;
  6. universities, research organizations, and libraries should align their policies and strategies;
  7. for books and monographs,[7]the timeline may be extended beyond 2021;
  8. open archives and repositories are acknowledged for their importance;
  9. hybrid open-access journalsare not compliant with the key principle;
  10. members of the coalition should monitor and sanction non-compliance.

In October 2023, cOAlition S released a proposal that would "reimagine scientific publishing without any author fees" (diamond open access).[8][9]

Specific implementation guidance[edit]

A task force of Science Europe, led byJohn-Arne Røttingen(RCN) and David Sweeney (UKRI), has developed a specific implementation guidance on the Plan S principles, released on 27 November 2018.[10]The development of the implementation guidance also drew on input from interested parties such as research institutions, researchers, universities, funders, charities, publishers, and civil society.[11]

Transition period[edit]

During a transition period, it will remain permissible to publish in so-calledtransformative journals,defined as hybrid journals that are covered by an agreement to become a full open-access venue.[12]The contracts of such transformative agreements need to be made publicly available (including costs), and may not last beyond 2023.[10]

Green open access[edit]

Publishing in any journal will continue to be permissible subject to the condition that a copy of themanuscript acceptedby the journal, or the finalpublished article,will be deposited in an approved open-access repository (green open access) with no embargo on access and with aCC BYlicence.[12] As part of the Rights retention strategy, Coalition S plans to override journal policies that would forbid this.[13][14]As of October 2021, this was done for over 500 works published in various venues.[15]

Licensing and rights[edit]

To re-use scholarly content, proper attribution needs to be given to the authors, and publications need to be granted a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to share and adapt the work for any purpose, including commercially. Scholarly articles must be published under aCreative CommonsAttribution license CC BY 4.0, or alternatively CC BY-SA 4.0 Share-alike or CC0Public Domain.[10] In particular, this allows them to be used inWikipedia.[15]

Mandatory criteria for open access journals and platforms[edit]

Open access journals and platforms need to meet the following criteria to be compliant with Plan S:

  • All scholarly content must be immediately accessible upon publication without any delay and free to read and download, without any kind of technical or other form of obstacles.
  • Content needs to be published under CC BY, CC BY-SA or CC0.
  • The journal/platform must implement and document a solid review system according to the standards within the discipline, and according to the standards of theCommittee on Publication Ethics(COPE).
  • The journal/platform must be listed in theDirectory of Open Access Journals(DOAJ) or be in the state of being registered.
  • Automaticarticle processing chargewaivers for authors from low-income countries and discounts for authors from middle-income countries must be provided.
  • Details about publishing costs (including direct costs, indirect costs and potential surplus) impacting the publication fees must be made transparent and be openly available on the journal website/publishing platform.
  • DOIsmust be used as permanent identifiers.
  • Long-term digital preservation strategy by deposition of content in an archiving programme such asLOCKSS/CLOCKSS.
  • Accessibility of the full text in a machine readable format (e.g.XML/JATS) to fosterText and Data Mining(TDM).
  • Link to raw data and code in external repositories.
  • Provide high quality and machine readable article level metadata and cited references under a CC0 public domain dedication.
  • Embed machine readable information on the open access status and the license of the article.

Mirror journals,with one part being subscription based and the other part being open access, are considered to be de facto hybrid journals. Mirror journals are not compliant with Plan S unless they are a part of a transformative agreement.

Public feedback[edit]

The implementation guidance was open for general feedback until 8 February 2019.[16]On 31 May 2019 the cOAlition S published an updated version of their implementation guidance in light of the feedback received during the consultation.[17]

COAlition S[edit]

Some commentators have suggested that the adoption of Plan S in one region would encourage its adoption in other regions.[18]

Member organisations[edit]

As of October 2018,organisations in the coalition behind Plan S included:[19]

International organizations that are members:

Plan S is also supported by:

Public figures[edit]

Robert-Jan Smitsstepped down in March 2019[42]and later wrote a book about Plan S.[43]Johan Rooryckof Leiden University was appointed Open Access Champion by cOAlition S on 28 August 2019;[44]

Organisations that withdrew or declined to join[edit]

In October 2018 theOffice of Science and Technology Policy(OSTP) made it clear that US federal funders would not be signing up to Plan S. In an interview with the American Institute of Physics published 30 April 2019, OSTP Director Kelvin Droegemeier stated with regard to Plan S: "One of the things this government will not do is to tell researchers where they have to publish their papers. That is absolutely up to the scholar who's doing the publication. There's just no question about that."[45]

In 2018 Swedish Riksbank's Jubilee Fond (RJ) used to be a member,[46]but left the coalition in 2019 after concerns about the timelines of Plan S.[47]

On 25 October 2019,Vijay Raghavanannounced that India would not be joining cOAlition S,[48]despite his supportive comments earlier in the same year.[27]

TheEuropean Research Councilinitially supported Coalition S in 2018,[49] but withdrew support in July 2020.[50]

Reactions[edit]

Institutional reactions[edit]

The following institutional statements of support were issued:

Reactions by researchers[edit]

Reactions included an Open Letter, signed by more than 1790 researchers, expressing their concerns about perceived unintended outcomes of the Plan if implemented as stated before the publication of the specific implementation guidance.[84]Another Open Letter in support of mandatory open access was issued after the publication of the specific implementation guide, and had been signed by over 1,900 researchers by the end of 2018. However, it did not reference Plan S specifically.[85][86]

Stephen Curry, a structural biologist and open access advocate atImperial College London,called the policy a "significant shift" and "a very powerful declaration".[87]Ralf Schimmer, head of the Scientific Information Provision at theMax Planck Digital Library,toldThe Scientistthat "This will put increased pressure on publishers and on the consciousness of individual researchers that an ecosystem change is possible... There has been enough nice language and waiting and hoping and saying please. Research communities just aren't willing to tolerate procrastination anymore."[88]Political activistGeorge Monbiot– while acknowledging that the plan was "not perfect" – wrote inThe Guardianthat the publishers' responses to Plan S was "ballistic", and argued that Elsevier's response regarding Wikipedia "inadvertently remind[ed] us of what happened to the commercial encyclopedias".[89]He said that, until Plan S is implemented, "The ethical choice is to read the stolen material published bySci-Hub."[89] HerpetologistMalcolm L. McCallumsuggested that science requires a diversity of publishing types to serve the needs of the entire scientific community.[90]

Individual Plan S policies have also received a mixed reception from academics. For example, the Rights Retention Strategy has been enthusiastically promoted by Cambridge neuroscientist Stephen Eglen because it can be used by anyone to make their work open access.[91]In contrast, computational biochemist Lynn Kamerlin criticized the Rights Retention Strategy because, while it would create obligations for grantees it was unclear whether it would create legal obligations for publishers.[92]Similarly, Shaun Khoo has argued that the Rights Retention Strategy is a complex approach that creates an unrealistic burden for authors and may produce legal risk for authors, institutions and readers.[93]

Reactions by journals and publishers[edit]

The plan was initially met with opposition from a number of publishers of non-open access journals, as well as from learned societies.[94]Springer Nature"urge[d] research funding agencies to align rather than act in small groups in ways that are incompatible with each other, and for policymakers to also take this global view into account", adding that removing publishing options from researchers "fails to take this into account and potentially undermines the whole research publishing system".[87]TheAAAS,publisher of the journalScience,argued that Plan S "will not support high-quality peer-review, research publication and dissemination", and that its implementation "would disrupt scholarly communications, be a disservice to researchers, and impinge academic freedom" and "would also be unsustainable for theSciencefamily of journals ".[87][88]Tom Reller ofElseviersaid, "if you think that information should be free of charge, go to Wikipedia".[95]

On 12 September 2018UBSrepeated their "sell" advice on Elsevier (RELX) stocks.[96]Elsevier's share price fell by 13% between 28 Aug and 19 September 2018.[97]

According to the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), whose aim is to transform the business model of the largest publishers (by supporting projects likeProject DEAL), Plan S puts smaller and emerging fullyopen accesspublishers at a competitive disadvantage, and potentially harms their prospects. Pure "gold" open access publishers may be put out of business by incentivizing authors to publish with large publishers which have the market power to negotiate their transition plans with funders, while no incentives are provided to authors to publish with smaller fully open access publishers and scholarly societies.[98]

Policy changes by journals and publishers[edit]

On 28 November 2018 the journalEpidemiology and Infectionpublished byCambridge University Pressannounced that it would convert to the open access model of publication from 1 January 2019, citing changed funder policies and Plan S.[99]

On 8 April 2020,Springer Natureannounced that many of its journals, includingNature,would become compatible with Plan S by publishing open access articles from 2021 and committing to an eventual transition to full open access.[100][101]

On 15 January 2021, theAAAS,which publishesScience,announced a trial OA policy that accommodates Plan S's green open access rules.[102]This policy allows the distribution of an article's accepted version under a free license, without embargo and without charge. However, this is only permitted to authors who are under mandates by their Coalition S funders.

In February 2021, more than 50 publishers, including Elsevier, Wiley and Springer Nature, announced their opposition to the rights retention strategy of Coalition S. More specifically, Springer Nature announced their intention to override that strategy by making authors sign a license to that effect.[103][104]

Policy changes by member organizations[edit]

In 2024, theGates Foundationannounced a "preprint-centric" open access policy, and their intention to stop paying article-processing charges. This policy is not “entirely in line with cOAlition S”, because it does not mandate that an accepted manuscript be openly accessible.[105]
