Summary:
A group of 11 European funding bodies known as Coalition S has pledged to ensure all the scientific research they support is published in ‘full, immediate’ open access journals by 2020.
The coalition and its plan – Plan S – were put together by the organisation Science Europe and the European commission’s open access envoy Robert-Jan Smits, the former director-general of research and innovation at the commission. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is among the funders to join, along with research councils in 10 other countries including Ireland, Austria and Sweden.
