I’m pleased to observe that these don’t concern the relevance of open access, whose wide-ranging benefits now seem to be almost universally acknowledged, but only potentially negative side-effects of the massive, if not global, shift to open access that the plan hopes to bring about.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Though many aspects of the plan are somewhat unclear, and most details of its implementation are still being drafted, what we do know already raises various worries. One is a possible conflict with academic freedom.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Two requirements of the plan are specifically targeted: (1) publication only in compliant journals (full OA, no hybrid) and (2) dissemination under a licence compliant with the Berlin OA definition, which would require authors to accept ceding generous usage rights in their works to others.<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The post can be read here:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpoynder.blogspot.com%2F2018%2F11%2Fplan-s-and-researchers-rights-reframing.html&data=01%7C01%7Cboai-forum%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C9ba0932f3680436c42c608d6494871cc%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C1&sdata=aFDTHNcB8UwwQJ%2BL2DGzcX%2Fbh%2BmjmNVPmVl4QS1CU6k%3D&reserved=0" originalSrc="https://poynder.blogspot.com/2018/11/plan-s-and-researchers-rights-reframing.html" shash="CcOVFXMopE+SGRkEt3aDjvwLsNG2UraWQkVSZ2n/vOzs+A750Z9dfw6WTGZ26ryFWixaqtoOMZhzA14vEhlPEDHPp/ncPLxHGuNWC+4kFHBvpDOnxl0RqFA2lYI9ACtEJaWcDsk89UFO6gAv/WSUFhRwPVre6okux49j9MjP/WE=">https://poynder.blogspot.com/2018/11/plan-s-and-researchers-rights-reframing.html</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
