[GOAL] Plan S. Because not enough has been written about it yet.

[Jean-Claude Guédon]

Danny is spot on. The real conversation is about the reward system. In
particular, we need to move away from two principles:
1. Journals are not good tools to evaluate the quality of individual
works; individual works are;
2. Present reward systems focus exclusively on the outcome of
competition; science need cooperation and sharing at least as much as
competition.
