NWO announces implementation guidelines for Plan S | Plan S

Plan S – an initiative of European research funders to accelerate the transition to open access – will apply to all new NWO calls published as of 1 January 2021. To give researchers sufficient time to prepare, NWO is already announcing how it will implement the guidelines for Plan S in its grant rules.

Since 2015, NWO already had a policy which requires open acces publication for research it has funded. Today, NWO is announcing how it will implement the new requirements of Plan S. These are summarised in the open access policy framework that will become an integral part of NWO’s grant rules as of January 2021. With this policy framework, NWO is giving effect to the Plan S implementation guidelines as published by cOAlition S on 31 May 2019.
