Papers Unplugged: What Ever Happened to Plan S?

What is Plan S and what has happened to it?

Join our guest Dr Nuno Borges and host Dr Christian Scharenberg as they talk about the core principles, goals, and challenges of Plan S.

Listen along as Dr Borges discusses the controversies aroused by Plan S and the “publish or perish” paradigm faced by early career scientists. Dr Borges ends this podcast on a positive note where he believes that slowly, but surely, and thanks to social media, we are heading towards a future where scientific publications will be open access and freely available to everyone.

This discussion is based on the recently published article Change is Coming: Plan S From the Early Career Scientist Perspective in HemaSphere by Dr Nuno Borges.

Host: Dr Christian Scharenberg; Guest: Dr Nuno Borges

This is the fourth of a series of podcasts discussing recently published scientific articles. More podcasts will be available in the future. Stay tuned!
