UKRI and Science Foundation Ireland along with nine other European funding agencies have signed up to “Plan S”. The plan is seen as a transformative development towards achieving full open access to research outputs.<\/p>\n

The key principle of Plan S is as follows-<\/p>\n

“After 1 January 2020 scientific publications on the results from research funded by public grants provided by national and European research councils and funding bodies, must be published in compliant Open Access Journals or on compliant Open Access Platforms”.<\/p>\n

IN ADDITION:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Authors retain copyright of their publication with no restrictions. All publications must be published under <\/span>an open license, preferably the Creative Commons Attribution Licence CC BY. In all cases, the license <\/span>applied should fulfil the requirements defined by the Berlin Declaration;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Funders will ensure jointly the establishment of robust criteria and requirements for the services <\/span>that compliant high quality Open Access journals and Open Access platforms must provide;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 In case such high quality Open Access journals or platforms do not yet exist, the Funders will, in a <\/span>coordinated way, provide incentives to establish and support them when appropriate; support will also <\/span>be provided for Open Access infrastructures where necessary;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Where applicable, Open Access publication fees are covered by the Funders or universities, not by <\/span>individual researchers; it is acknowledged that all scientists should be able to publish their work Open <\/span>Access even if their institutions have limited means;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 When Open Access publication fees are applied, their funding is standardised and capped (across <\/span>Europe);<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Funders will ask universities, research organisations, and libraries to align their policies and strategies, <\/span>notably to ensure transparency;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The above principles shall apply to all types of scholarly publications, but it is understood that the timeline <\/span>to achieve Open Access for monographs and books may be longer than 1 January 2020;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The importance of open archives and repositories for hosting research outputs is acknowledged <\/span>because of their long-term archiving function and their potential for editorial innovation;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The \u2018hybrid\u2019 model of publishing is not compliant with the above principles;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Funders will monitor compliance and sanction non-compliance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
