When the STM Association, the global voice of scholarly publishing, convenes its 2018 STM Week program in London, the focus of attention will come down to a single letter “S.” On December 4, CCC’s Chuck Hemenway moderates a panel discussion for STM Week’s session on Tools and Standards that will ask what lies ahead in the dynamic Open Access publishing environment in the wake of “Plan S”.
Announced in September, Plan S has everyone in scholarly publishing talking. An initiative of national research funding organizations from across Europe, as well as private funders like Wellcome and the Gates Foundation, Plan S puts pressure on open access publishing business models by capping article fees, ending embargoes, and withdrawing support for hybrid OA journals.
Throughout the fall, CCC has produced programs examining the implications Plan S presents for the future of scholarly publishing. This special podcast collects highlights from webinars and podcasts featuring editors, executives and analysts. Guests include Tim Britton, Springer Nature; Rob Johnson, Research Consulting; Malavika Legge, Portland Press; and Tasha Mellins-Cohen, The Microbiology Society.
