The Plan S Principles cOAlition S I 8 Why Plan S? “Science, as an institution of organised criticism, can… only function properly if research results are made openly available to the community so that they can be submitted to the test and scrutiny of other researchers” “we have been talking about open access for 20 years; it is time to do it properly” (speaker at Open Repositories 2019 conference session on Plan S) (Of course, Scielo has been doing it properly in one way for 20 years…) cOAlition S I 9 cOAlition S: who?

New leverage for library consortia @oa2020ini Synergy between Plan S and OA2020 https://www.coalition-s.org/principles-and-implementation/ 16 @oa2020ini Transformative agreements Transformative agreements are those contracts negotiated between institutions (libraries, national and regional consortia) and publishers that transform the business model underlying scholarly journals from subscription to open access. They aim to constrain costs of scholarly communication and foster sustainability and equity in scholarly publishing https://esac-initiative.org/about/transformative-agreements/ @oa2020ini Shared set of community guidelines - Temporary and transitional - Authors retain exclusive rights to their works - Agreements must be transparent - Include permanent access - Constrain costs of scholarly communication and foster equity in scholarly publishing - Govern service and workflow requirements to ensure that the needs of authors and administrators are addressed https://esac-initiative.org/about/transformative-agreements/guidelines-for-transformative-agreements/ https://esac-initiative.org/guidelines/ @oa2020ini Validated and supported by the global research community https://oa2020.org/b14-conference/final-statement/ 19 @oa2020ini Validated and supported by the global FINAL STATEMENT research14thcommunity Berlin Open Access Conference We are all committed to authors retaining their copyrights, We are all committed to complete and immediate open access, We are all committed to accelerating the progress of open access through transformative agreements that are temporary and transitional, with a shift to full open access within a very few years. These agreements should, at least initially, be cost-neutral, with the expectation that economic adjustments will follow as the markets transform. Publishers are expected to work with all members of the global research community to effect complete and immediate open access according to this statement. https://oa2020.org/b14-conference/final-statement/ 20 @oa2020ini Note: cost-neutral is based on legacy pricing (no social justice in subscriptions!)
