an initiative by <span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm"><a href="https://www.scienceeurope.org/"><span style="color:#E97202">Science Europe</span></a></span> for Open Access publishing. The initiative that promotes making full and immediate
Open Access a reality, has received much criticism of its implementation guidelines. There is concern about the transition to this model amongst both commercial publishers and a range of learned society journal publishers. How should South African institutions
address the implications of Plan S? What exactly will the potential impact be on researchers and institutional budgets? Will Plan S not just be replacing the barrier to read with a barrier to authorship? Through its panellists, the Roundtable will be one of
many efforts to understand this contentious subject and the related issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
