Plan S is an initiative for open-access science publishing launched in 2018 by "cOAlition S", a consortium of national research agencies and funders from thirteen European countries. Many aspects of Plan S have now come into force, including the Rights Retention Strategy. Sally Rumsey, Open Access expert at Jisc and Professor Johan Rooryck, Executive Director of cOAlition S, talk about what this means for our researchers and, in particular, how the changes to rights retention for authors might impact our future dissemination of research. Professor Martin Eve, founder and CEO of the Open Library of Humanities, will consider the role and responsibilities of publishers.Dr Maria Mercedes Frabboni will chair this event.Supported by SAGE Publications and hosted by the University of Sussex Library, these events are open to everyone engaged in, supporting or curious about the research process.
