12. Plan S was drafted by the European Commission and pushedbyseveralmajorEuropeanresearchfunders. The strategy emphasises broad accessibility, based on thebeliefthatindividualshave amoralrightto“free accesstoallscientificpapersfrompubliclyfinanced research.” Itaimstoacceleratethealterationoftheacademic publishingmarketbyimposingrulesthatlimitthetypes of journals in which authors can publish: “After 1 January 2020, scientific publications on the results of research funded by public contributions provided by national and European research councils and funding groups must be publishedincompliantOpenAccessjournalsoron compliantOpen Accessplatforms.” (4)

13. Evolution Overmanyyears,thepresentpublicationsystemhas evolved. It is far from ideal, yet science has flourished under this system. With the introduction of the Internet, the rate of change hasaccelerated considerably. As a result, open access publication of peer-reviewed papers(and publicly accessible posts) currently accounts forasubstantialportionofthesectorandisexpanding.

14. Most academic journals enable authors to self-archive their work on a publically accessiblewebpage. Thesystemisevolving. In graceful of these developments, while we agree with Plan S’s goal of increasing access to published work, we believe that rushing to implement change, which will begininaboutsixmonths,withoutconsideringthepossiblenegative consequences,is irresponsible. Moreover, plan S has the potential to cause unneeded conflict and confusion in a community that, in the post-truth age, stands out as a haven where shared ideals and agreed-upon norms of transparency and objectivity have allowed steady growth onsolid foundations(5).

15. Conclusion Toconclude,nowthatPlanShasgotteneveryone’s attention, let’s make use of the momentum to revisit the present system’s flaws and implore everyone’s opinion (academics, donors, the general public, and publishers) onhow to improveit. Everyone agrees that greater accessibility is beneficial, andhowever,itshouldbethegoaltoachieveitby evolutionrather thanrevolution.
