The ten principles of Plan S8
| Plan S principles | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Authors or their institutions retain copyright to their publications | ||
| 2. | The funders will develop robust criteria and requirements for the services that high-quality open access journals must provide | ||
| 3. | Where high-quality open access journals or platforms do not yet exist, funders will provide incentives to establish and support them when appropriate, in a coordinated way | ||
| 4. | Fees are covered by the funders or research institutions, not by individual researchers | ||
| 5. | Diversity of business models for open access journals and platforms | ||
| 6. | All stakeholders encouraged to align their strategies, policies, and practices, notably to ensure transparency | ||
| 7. | Above applies to all scholarly publications, although monographs will take longer | ||
| 8. | Hybrid publishing not supported, unless they are approved as transformative agreements | ||
| 9. | Funders will monitor compliance | ||
| 10. | Assessment measures that value the merit of research outside of journal metrics | ||
