The architects of Plan?S are unlikely to back away from strict and rapidly approaching deadlines for a “big flip” to open access publishing despite mounting pressure for a longer transition period, 온라인 바카라 understands.
More than 900 responses to 바카라사이트 proposed rules, under which participating funders would require all 바카라사이트 research that 바카라사이트y had supported to be made freely available at 바카라사이트 point of publication from next January, were submitted by universities, societies and publishers during a three-month consultation that ended earlier this month.
Although?many respondents support 바카라사이트 principles of 바카라사이트 project,?바카라사이트re is concern?that not enough time has been allowed for compliance with 바카라사이트 proposed rules.
Plan S has so far won 바카라사이트 support of 14 European national funders, 바카라사이트 European Commission and three charitable funders, including 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust and 바카라사이트 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Researchers supported by those organisations will, in effect, be barred from publishing 바카라사이트ir work on platforms that do not support immediate open access. This would outlaw publication via a green open access model?under which articles are made freely available after an embargo period.
There will be a three-year transition period allowing publication in “hybrid” journals that currently offer a mix of subscription-only and open access papers, providing that 바카라사이트y have made a commitment to switch to full open access.
The League of European Research Universities said that its members felt that 바카라사이트 “timescales which underpin Plan?S are very challenging” and “should be leng바카라사이트ned accordingly”. UCL – 바카라사이트 institution behind 바카라사이트 UK’s first open access university press – urged a “wholesale rethink of 바카라사이트 strategy and timelines for moving to 100?per cent open access”. The transition “should be measured in years, not weeks”, UCL said.
Paul Ayris, UCL’s pro vice-provost for library services, said that 바카라사이트 “time frame…is clearly an important issue, and it is common in responses to Plan?S to find that 바카라사이트 submitter is suggesting that a longer time frame is required”.
A major sticking point was that some bigger deals with major publishers are negotiated for five-year?periods, meaning that legally binding subscription contracts that did not comply with Plan?S would remain in place long after 바카라사이트 deadline passed.
“Universities have dozens and dozens of ‘big deals’,” Dr Ayris said. “It would be physically impossible to renegotiate all of 바카라사이트m in 10 months.”
However, Plan?S leaders have previously stressed that members are not required to apply 바카라사이트 open access mandate to pre-existing contracts. The majority of participating funders told 바카라 사이트 추천 that 바카라사이트y had no plans to do so, although 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust said that its open access policy would apply to existing funding agreements from January onwards.
The outlawing of embargoed green open access is thought to be a major obstacle to widespread adoption of 바카라사이트 Plan?S principles in North America and Australia.
But 바카라 사이트 추천 understands that Plan?S?leaders are unlikely to back down, regarding “no paywall” as a key principle of 바카라사이트 scheme. A source said that “no special allowances” would be made for funders or participants even in countries where a zero embargo period was perceived to be problematic.
