CUP's response to the Rights Retention Strategy from cOAlition S « News « Cambridge Core Blog

Summary:

Today we announced our support for Plan S’s transformative journals programme as a welcome new route for our authors to publish Open Access (OA) research articles. All being well with our application, we will have two routes to Plan S compliance: transformative agreements (our Read and Publish deals) and transformative journals. These two routes will work well together to allow us to publish research funded by cOAlition S as Gold OA.

Plan S also offers a third route to compliance that we cannot support, which is making authors’ accepted manuscripts open access without an embargo period under a CC-BY license (embargo-free Green OA). This route is implemented through cOAlition S’s Rights Retention Strategy. We appreciate that cOAlition S needs to offer a Green route for publishers to adopt if they choose. But there are two major difficulties we have with Green OA as implemented in Plan S.
