Plan S
Advice for learned societies
A coalition of industry bodies is to collaborate and look at ways in which learned societies can thrive under Plan S. Wellcome, in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), have engaged Information Power to explore a range of potential strategies and business models, through which learned societies can transition to an open access landscape and adapt to Plan S. As the number of
researchers covered by Plan S-compliant funding increases, it will, in time, put pressure on the business models of many learned societies, which rely on hybrid journal publishing to
cover their publishing costs, and to generate revenue for other important activities they undertake, such as hosting meetings/conferences and awarding fellowships and other grants. Robert Kiley, head of open
research at Wellcome said: ‘Wellcome and UKRI recognise the value learned societies play in supporting researchers and contributing to a vibrant research ecosystem. We are keen for them to be successful in transition to OA, in line with Plan S. We are delighted to partner with ALPSP to explore – via the team at Information Power – a diverse array of potential strategies and business models through which learned societies can adapt and thrive to this changing landscape.’
The team – including Alicia Wise, Lorraine Estelle, and Hazel Woodward at Information Power, plus additional expert Yvonne Campfens – will document and develop a range of transition approaches and business models for Learned Society publishers to consider. These will be developed in dialogue
with society publishers, libraries and consortia, funders, society members and society publishing partners. Pilots with two society publishers will bring some of the approaches and models to life; the final report will be published in July, with all materials being made available under a CC-BY licence.
