Summary:
Springer Nature’s chief publishing officer Steven Inchcoombe has proposed a new approach to research publishing which will see publishers move from being “passive enablers” of open access to being “active drivers” of it.
Inchcoombe said the initiative resulted from a rethink after proponents of Plan S - the international initiative which wants all government funded research to be published Open Access by 2020 - rejected his earlier arguments for hybrid journals.
