Friends, I just saw this brief article by Robert-Jan Smits. https://sciencebusiness.net/viewpoint/open-science/viewpoint-its-time-increa... The author is trying to defend and promote Plan S. In my view Plan S is a plan meant to perpetuate the hegemony (and obscene profit margins) of the publishing oligarchs at the cost of science and scientists. Scientists and taxpayers around the world, esp. the Global South, should steer clear of this evil plan and prefer achieving open access through the publicly peer-reviewed preprints route.
