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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
My best to all,<br><br>

I have not seen this open letter sent yet to the scholcomm list, so just

Dear Open Science Supporters, <br><br>
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
<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coalition-s.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047347746&sdata=jCS7KqSGnMGgHM4o8cHxsAuAXUoujabseJUp0tIgUKA%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">
Plan S</a>). Please consider signing it.<br>
<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmichaeleisen.org%2Fpetition%2F&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047357755&sdata=qWz27E1MC7S2ScwosZfHQkIXjoGHjl0DEp005HbuX%2B4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">

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
<a href="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" target="_blank">
Nature</a>,
<a href="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" target="_blank">
Science</a> 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.<br><br>
If you support it, please help to share this letter on social media and
through other channels.<br><br>
Kind regards,<br><br>
Lenny<br><br>
