Unfortunately this new petition letter does not explicitly endorse Plan S, so signing it does not counter the letter criticizing Plan S. This new letter supports funder mandates but the criticisms of Plan S are not about that. They are about the specifics of Plan S, such as not allowing the posting of articles OA in hybrid journals, thereby excluding an estimated 85% of journals. In fact the failure to endorse Plan S in this new letter can be argued (apparently incorrectly) as critical of Plan S. In politics (which this is because it is mostly about government action), if candidate S runs on platform P and organization O endorses P but not S we would say that S failed to be endorsed. Thus one wonders why they did not start a petition endorsing Plan S.

With the help of extensive coverage from Nature <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fd41586-018-07386-x%3Futm_source%3Dfeedburner%26utm_medium%3Dfeed%26utm_campaign%3DFeed%253A%2Bnature%252Frss%252Fcurrent%2B%2528Nature%2B-%2BIssue%2529%26utm_content%3DGoogle%2BInternational&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047367768&sdata=R%2FhtIQEVCGEt0jPAhy4sR7wuqR2gBfSxeDQHOHWCWT4%3D&reserved=0>, Science <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencemag.org%2Fnews%2F2018%2F11%2Fopen-access-plan-draws-online-protest&data=02%7C01%7Clbmullen%40rutgers.edu%7Cb8de89f09e7e488621aa08d65689c2fd%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C1%7C636791547047377781&sdata=gWu6rHs5iZR%2BtW6IpB5i7UcEABZcF8T19rr1XtcgT4o%3D&reserved=0> 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.
