Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) will host a complimentary 30-minute webinar in advance of Frankfurt Book Fair – Get Smart About ‘Plan S’ – featuring Open Access (OA) expert Rob Johnson of the UK’s Research Consulting on October 2, 2018, 10:00 – 10:30 am EDT (15:00 BST/16:00 CEST/14:00 GMT).
Announced just weeks ago, ‘Plan S’ is an initiative of 11 European national research funding organisations. It puts pressure on OA publishing business models by capping article fees, ending embargoes, and withdrawing support for ‘hybrid’ OA journals. Robert-Jan Smits, the European Commission’s OA special envoy, has said the “S” in “Plan S” can stand for “science, speed, solution, and shock.”
As part of its partnership with The Frankfurt Book Fair (10th- 14th October), CCC will also host a live panel presentation on this important topic at the Fair featuring Tim Britton, Managing Director, Open Research Group at Springer Nature, and others.
Get Smart About “Plan S” is scheduled for October 11, 09:00-09:30, at the Academic & Business Information Stage (Hall 4.2 N 101).
