Unfortunately this new petition letter does not explicitly endorse Plan S,
so signing it does not counter the letter criticizing Plan S. This new
letter supports funder mandates but the criticisms of Plan S are not about
that. They are about the specifics of Plan S, such as not allowing the
posting of articles OA in hybrid journals, thereby excluding an estimated
85% of journals.

In fact the failure to endorse Plan S in this new letter can be argued
(apparently incorrectly) as critical of Plan S. In politics (which this is
because it is mostly about government action), if candidate S runs on
platform P and organization O endorses P but not S we would say that S
failed to be endorsed. Thus one wonders why they did not start a petition
endorsing Plan S.

My best to all,

David Wojick

Dear Colleagues,


I have not seen this open letter sent yet to the scholcomm list, so just
passing along in case of interest.


Thank you,

Laura Mullen

Dear Open Science Supporters,

I have worked with Mike Eisen over the past 10 days on a short letter in
support of immediate open access and funder mandates for it (implicit
support for Plan S

Please consider signing it.

A key reason for our effort is that another letter against Plan S/funder
mandates was circulated a few weeks ago. With the help of extensive
coverage from Nature
<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fd41586-018-07386-x%3Futm_source%3Dfeedburner%26utm_medium%3Dfeed%26utm_campaign%3DFeed%253A%2Bnature%252Frss%252Fcurrent%2B%2528Nature%2B-%2BIssue%2529%26utm_content%3DGoogle%2BInternational&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047367768&sdata=R%2FhtIQEVCGEt0jPAhy4sR7wuqR2gBfSxeDQHOHWCWT4%3D&reserved=0>,
Science
<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencemag.org%2Fnews%2F2018%2F11%2Fopen-access-plan-draws-online-protest&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047377781&sdata=gWu6rHs5iZR%2BtW6IpB5i7UcEABZcF8T19rr1XtcgT4o%3D&reserved=0>
and many publishers, that letter now has 1,400 signatures. And EVERYONE
covering Plan S or pushing back on it points to that letter. Moreover, Plan
S architects are working hard to bring more funders into the group, and
many funders are scared of grantees' reaction. Showing support for the
mandates from researchers is very important.

If you support it, please help to share this letter on social media and
through other channels.

Kind regards,

Lenny
