[open-science] Plan S – Time to decide what we stand for

[Jon Tennant]

Hi folks,

Greetings from Germany, und mit Entschuldigung für cross-posting.

I just wanted to draw your attention to a new post on the LSE Impact Blog,
where I have tried to reflect on the debate around Plan S over the last few
months:
https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2019/03/05/plan-s-time-to-decide-what-we-stand-for/

It has been fascinating to watch and be part of, and this post discusses
some of the history of OA, tone and quality of communication, surfacing of
vested interests, and more. There is also a link to the full, unadulterated
version of this post linked to at the bottom (warning, PG-13).

I hope some of you find it useful, and I would love to discuss any aspects
of it further. Likewise, if anyone else has similar thoughts after
reflecting on Plan S, please do let me know! :)

Schönen Tag!

Jon
