Feedback on Plan S from University of Helsinki and elsewhere

Abstract

Over 600 individuals and organisations for over 40 countries provided feedback on Plan S implementation guidance. All responses will be made openly available later in the spring by cOAlition S. The feedback from University of Helsinki emphasizes that open access to scholarly publications is an important part of a broader cultural and methodological change required for Open Science to become mainstream.This change will happen successfully through a multistakeholder dialogue. Universities are the everyday working communities of researchers, and therefore have a lot to offer in bringing about change and dialogue among researchers and other research community stakeholder groups.
