Dear library partners,

I wanted to give you a heads up that PLOS will be contacting PLOS Medicine and PLOS Biology authors this week to let them know about upcoming changes to fees as the journals move to the PLOS CAP model January 1, 2021.

Your libraries may start to receive questions about the model, future fees, and if your libraries are participating in either community. The library FAQ for the model is here.  The AUTHOR FAQ for CAP is here. CAP landing page for authors is here. Please reaching out to [log in to unmask] if you have questions or need assistance with author questions!

Want to learn more about the model yourself? Join us for a public webinar on Tuesday November 10 on equity in scholarly publishing, why we launched the model, why libraries are partnering, and how it works. Nerea Llamas, Associate University Librarian for Collections, UNC Chapel Hill) and Niamh O'Connor, PLOS' Chief Publishing Officer, will join me for a 30 min discussion followed by Q&A.

US friends, stay healthy, safe, and sane this week! ROW friends, thanks for your ongoing support during the craziest week in a long time...
