Open Access: Cost of academic publishing is ‘untenable’ says India’s chief science adviser
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

VijayRaghavan was speaking after he tweeted that India would be signing up to the most radical opposition to the scientific publishing status quo: Plan S, an initiative launched last year by a group of European funders to ensure that, by 2020, taxpayer-funded research results are made immediately free to read. The controversial scheme spearheaded by Robert-Jan Smits, the European Commission’s special envoy on open access, has received backing from the European Research Council and 13 national funding bodies, including agencies in France, the Netherlands and the UK. Two of the biggest medical research charities in the world, Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are also on board.
