Small and Medium Publishers Consultation on Barriers to Open Access (Deadline extended to Sept 01, 2020)

Deadline extended to Sept 01, 2020

"The Plan S guidelines require all scholarly publications or the results of research funded by public or private grants from national, regional and international research councils and funding bodies to be open access immediately on publication.

• The challenges you anticipate encountering as you work to become compliant with the principles.
• The work you have done so far to support the scholarly community move towards open access...."
