The 11 national research bodies behind Plan-S are hoping to move OA
publishing from 30% to 100% of all scholarly research published.  Most
nonprofit and commercial publishers are supportive of open access but
concede that hybrid models have been helpful in easing the transition to a
full and immediately open model.  Plan-S amps up the transition by banning
publication in hybrid journals of any funded research and capping article
processing charges (APCs).


NFAIS is gathering together all sectors of the information services
community October 1 – 2, 2018 in Old Town Alexandria for its *Movements &
Models Supporting Open Access
<http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=548546>*
conference. Attendees will join strategic discussions on how Plan-S could
affect scholarly publishing, plus:

   - The “Read & Publish” and “Subscribe to Open” models, and how they meet
   the goals of academia, while remaining financially sustainable.
   - The growing pressure for researchers to extend their reach beyond
   traditional academic peer audiences.
   - The Government Purpose License, and how it is being used to provide
   public access to government-funded journal articles
   - And much more!

Transitioning all scholarship to a fully open access model is complicated
with many moving parts and affected parties.  NFAIS is the forum for
bringing together the entire industry to discuss how to meet the goals of
OA while ensuring the financial stability of the scholarly communications
ecosystem.
