movement and represents the worldwide region with larger adoption of Open
Access practices. Argentina has recently expressed its commitment to join Plan
S, an initiative from a European consortium of research funders oriented to
mandate Open Access publishing of scientific outputs. Here we suggest that the
potential adhesion of Argentina or other Latin American nations to Plan S, even
in its recently revised version, ignores the reality and tradition of Latin
American Open Access publishing, and has still to demonstrate that it will
encourage at a regional and global level the advancement of non-commercial Open
Access initiatives.</span></i><br></p>
