OverviewcOAlition S I 6But we are starting from different places…• Diverse landscape, with national journals, continent-wide platforms, institutional repositories…• Long tradition of academic-led, OA publishing, often funded directly as part of academic practice• Open, but often excluded from ‘global’ indexes, and hence from common quality/impact indicators• Long tradition of largely out-sourcing publishing to subscription-based publishers, funded by libraries• To transition, tried hybrid journals…“…that transition has stalled”Johan Rooryck, cOAlition S OA ChampioncOAlition S I 7But we are starting from different places…• Diverse landscape, with national journals, continent-wide platforms, institutional repositories…• Long tradition of academic-led, OA publishing, often funded directly as part of academic practice• Open, but often excluded from ‘global’ indexes, and hence from common quality/impact indicators• Long tradition of largely out-sourcing publishing to subscription-based publishers, funded by libraries• To transition, tried hybrid journals…“…that transition has stalled”Johan Rooryck, cOAlition S OA Champion66%49%44%Credit: Ahmed Ogunlaja, yesterdaycOAlition S I 8cOAlition ScOAlition S I 9National European funders: Austria: FWFFinland: AKAFrance: ANRIreland: SFIItaly: INFNLuxembourg: FNRNetherlands: NWONorway: RCNPoland: NCN Slovenia: ARRSSweden: FORMAS, FORTE, VINNOVAUK: UKRIEuropean funders: European CommissionIncluding European Research Council Charitable foundations:The Wellcome TrustThe Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationAligning Science Across Parkinson’sGlobal dimensionWorld Health Organisation + TDRJordan: HCSTZambia : NSTCSouth African Medical Research CouncilAfrican Academy of SciencesSao Paulo Statement : AmeLICA, SciELo, African Open Science Platform, OA2020, cOAlition SCoordinated action with OA2020Coordinated action with COARcOAlition S: who?cOAlition S I 10Plan S overviewPrinciplesGuidelinescOAlition S I 11Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationcOAlition S I 12Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationBecause paywalls exclude those unable to paycOAlition S I 13Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationBecause embargoes mean those who can’t pay have to waitcOAlition S I 14Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationBecause this enables translation, eg to / from EnglishcOAlition S I 15Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationBecause there could be unfairness in what people are payingcOAlition S I 16Plan S : Built on strong principlesNo publication should be locked behind a paywallOA must be immediate, i.e. no embargo periodsNo copyright transfer; publication under a CC BY license by defaultTransparency about pricing and contractsFunders commit to support publication fees at a reasonable levelMultiple routes to OA complianceCommitment to assess research outputs based on their intrinsic merit and NOT venue of publicationIndividual authors do not pay.
