[GOAL] Open letter in support of open access

[Lenny Teytelman]

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 <https://www.coalition-s.org/>). Please consider signing
it.
http://michaeleisen.org/petition/

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://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07386-x?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nature%2Frss%2Fcurrent+%28Nature+-+Issue%29&utm_content=Google+International>,
Science
<https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/open-access-plan-draws-online-protest>
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
