Perhaps unsurprisingly, while cOAlition S is quick to tell the world when it signs up a new funder for Plan S, it is silent when a funder leaves the coalition. It has not, for instance, publicly commented on the decision by the Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, or RJ) to leave. RJ’s name just disappeared from the Plan S web page sometime during the week beginning 20th May.
How, when and why did RJ leave?
