Recording now available – Plan S Rights Retention Strategy webinar

Starting in January 2021, cOAlition S Organisations are changing their grant conditions to mandate Open Access for all publications reporting original research supported in whole or in part by their funding. cOAlition S Organisations offer three routes that allow their funded researchers to be compliant with this policy. Authors can publish in fully Open Access journals and platforms, they can self-archive a version of their paper, or they can publish in journals that are under a Transformative Arrangement.

cOAlition S has developed its Rights Retention Strategy to fully support the self-archiving route. The Rights Retention Strategy gives researchers the freedom to publish in their journal of choice, including subscription journals, whilst remaining fully compliant with Plan S. Authors only need to apply a Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC BY) to (at least) the Author Accepted Manuscripts (AAMs) of their submissions.https://www.coalition-s.org/rights-retention-strategy/

Today (17 November 2020) representatives from cOAlition S, Johan Rooryck, Executive Director, cOAlition S; Sally Rumsey, Jisc/cOAlition S OA Expert and Chris Moran, Legal Counsel at Wellcome Trust presented a webinar where they described the Rights Retention Strategy and its implementation, and then opened the floor for Q&A.
