Plan S and the Transformation of Scholarly Communication: Are We Missing the Woods? - The Scholarly Kitchen

A blog post about the Revised Plan S implementation guidelines

"The revised guidelines are careful to point out that neither Plan S specifically nor open access in general require the APC model, but it’s important to go one step further and to be clear that open access is not a single business model – it’s the outcome we’re driving towards. The furor around Plan S over recent months has narrowed focus to a scramble for RAP/PAR deals which seems to have blocked our ability to think about different or more innovative approaches. Plan S has undoubtedly added a much-needed sense of urgency, and I hope that we can now add to that an ability to think big about what a true transformation of scholarly communication should look like. That system should not only be open, more efficient, and fully digital, but truly equitable for all."
