"#cOAlition_S wishes to commission a study…to identify ways in which readers and producers of scholarly publications (or their proxies, namely research #funders and #universities) could financially contribute to supporting the academic publishing services valued by their research communities as a function of their means in a manner that is globally equitable and sustainable."

#Plan_S reiterates that so-called transformative agreements (aka offset agreements, read-and-publish agreements) should be transitional. It will drop its financial support for them at the end of 2024. Supporting them further "would significantly increase the risk that these arrangements will become permanent and perpetuate #hybrid #OpenAccess, which #cOAlition_S has always firmly opposed."
