Plan S – A Golden Addition to the Diamond Open Access Publishing Model | Kutnar | ARS MATHEMATICA CONTEMPORANEA

"We wish to tell readers about ‘Plan S’, which is a very recent initiative in Europe, begun in September 2018 with the aim of speeding up a transition from the traditional, subscription-based publishing model to the Gold Open Access model. This plan envisages that all research supported by public money in Europe should be published in Gold OA journals from 2020. Although not all details have been decided, it appears that Plan S could involve imposing sanctions against authors whose research was supported by public research agencies but publish their work subscription-based journals, even in leading journals such as Annals of Mathematics, Acta Mathematica, Inventiones Mathematicae, JAMS and JEMS."
