Marcia McNutt, distinguished scientist with extensive publishing experience
and now Chief Executive of the National Academy of Sciences (US) offers an
opinion piece on Plan S.  The link has been widely circulated, but if you
haven't paused to read the piece, please make the time.

across a wide swath of journal publications. But the path currently
suggested has serious drawbacks that could jeopardize nonprofit science
societies.
