| Summary: | We share the spirit of Plan S to achieve full open access to scholarly publications (see go.nature.com/2hszsaf), but we
disagree with its implementation
guidelines. The plan’s design ignores more than 20 years of widespread experience in open-access publishing in many developing nations, as well as
Latin America’s widespread ethos of free-to-publish and free-toread research.
To rectify this, the Plan S guidelines need to tackle the longstanding issues of conventional scholarly publishing, including the high concentration of articles in commercial publications.
Funders should promote open-access practices that are more globally inclusive, while improving the quality of editorial processes and keeping their
control within the scientific community. |
