Copyright Clearance Center is once again pleased to mark the occasion of Open Access Week (22-28 October 2018). Over the past decade, Open Access Week has fostered an important global conversation on the transition to open publishing.
For 2018, the theme for OA Week is “designing equitable foundations for open knowledge.” The questions this theme raises are especially important at a time when national research funding organizations from across Europe have launched “Plan S” to put pressure on open access publishing business models.
To explore what Plan S could mean for the future of publication programs at researcher-supported societies, CCC’s Chris Kenneally spoke with two leading executives – Malavika Legge of the Biochemical Society and Portland Press and Tasha Mellins-Cohen of the Microbiology Society – who offered an informal Guide to a “Plan S” Impact Assessment for society and independent publishers.
Watch for #OAWeek news and analysis from CCC on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn throughout this week.
