Summary of the cOAlition S webinar: The Rights Retention Strategy and what it means for EU13 & Associated Countries - Young Academy of Europe

At the beginning of 2021, cOAlition S started implementing its Rights Retention Strategy (RRS). This strategy is to give researchers supported by a cOAlition S the freedom to submit manuscripts for publication to their chosen journal, including subscription journals, whilst obeying Plan S principles. It is obligatory for the funded researchers to assign an open (CC BY) license to their accepted manuscripts that protects their intellectual property. This way the researchers are able to reuse and disseminate their work as they see fit. Furthermore, they can deposit a copy of their Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) without restrain in their chosen repository.
