‘Transformative’ journals get booted for switching to open access too slowly; Science, June 20, 2023

JEFFREY BRAINARD, Science; ‘Transformative’ journals get booted for switching to open access too slowly

"Two-thirds of the more than 2300 scientific journals participating in a program designed to flip them to open access (OA) failed to meet prescribed targets for progress in 2022. As a result, the Coalition S group of research funders behind the initiative announced today that it will remove these journals from the program at the end of the year. The funders will no longer pay the fees these journals charge authors for OA publication, although scholars may still publish OA articles in these titles if they pay using other funding sources."
