Dear Open Science Supporters, I have worked with Mike Eisen over the past 10 days on a short letter in support of immediate open access and funder mandates for it (implicit support for Plan S <https://www.coalition-s.org/>). Please consider signing it. http://michaeleisen.org/petition/
A key reason for our effort is that another letter against Plan S/funder mandates was circulated a few weeks ago. With the help of extensive coverage from Nature <https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07386-x?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nature%2Frss%2Fcurrent+%28Nature+-+Issue%29&utm_content=Google+International>, Science <https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/open-access-plan-draws-online-protest> and many publishers, that letter now has 1,400 signatures. And EVERYONE covering Plan S or pushing back on it points to that letter. Moreover, Plan S architects are working hard to bring more funders into the group, and many funders are scared of grantees' reaction. Showing support for the mandates from researchers is very important. If you support it, please help to share this letter on social media and through other channels. Kind regards, Lenny -- Lenny Teytelman, Ph.D. CEO, protocols.io 510-301-1215
