How do you feel about Plan S and open access?

The open access landscape is changing fast, and there are many questions still to be answered about its future. We want to make sure that we’re doing all we can to make sure that this future is sustainable, secure and inclusive.

You may know that a group of research funders are proposing a set of 10 principles that they hope will make all publicly-funded research openly available – their plan is called Plan S.

How will Plan S affect the chemistry community? We need to know what you think, so that we can effectively advocate for your needs.

Please take a few moments before 14 April to watch this video, then add your voice to the conversation by answering two questions at the end.

Together we will influence the future of open access.

Thanks for this nice and very concise summary.

Yeah that's a very great initiative. Personally I think whatever research we do or they do should be openly accessible to the possible next person who is going to the same track.

Go open! Having science knowledge open means more educated humans which will lead us to better future & give us more chance in survival in the universe. There's so much entertainment stuff free online that more & more population will spend time drowning in that. That'd be a huge waste & quite unproductive & useless as compared to this.
