Free Webinar for STM Members: cOAlition S Rights Retention Strategy: Key facts and role for publishers
About this event
Audience: STM member publishing houses and learned societies
This webinar, co-organised by STM and cOAlition S will help STM Members to better understand the Rights Retention Strategy while providing room for an in-depth discussion with representatives of cOAlition S.
In September 2018 a group of funding organisations announced the launch of cOAlition S, an initiative to accelerate full and immediate Open Access to peer-reviewed research publications. It is built around Plan S which consists of one target and 10 principles.
In July 2020, cOAlition S announced their Rights Retention Strategy (RRS), outlined as an implementation of Principle 1 in Plan S which requires that authors retain their copyright to their publications – Accepted Manuscripts (AMs) or Version of Record (VoR) which must be published under an open license (CC-BY, or by exception, if so decided by a cOAlition S Organisation, CC-BY-ND).
In this webinar, representatives of cOAlition S will explain in detail the Rights Retention Strategy. The Webinar will offer the opportunity for STM members to have an open and informed discussion about this new strategy.
