SUMMARY:ASSAf Presidential Roundtable: ‘Is Scholarly Publishing beco
 ming Unaffordable?’ An Evidence-based Dialogue on the Implications o
 f a European Plan S on South Africa'
DESCRIPTION:24 October 2019, 17:00 for 17:30 – 19:30 SAST\nASSAf Pre
 sidential Roundtable: Science, Scholarship and Society on:\n‘Is Scho
 larly Publishing becoming Unaffordable?’ An Evidence-based Dialogue 
 on the Implications of a European Plan S on South African Research \n
 In collaboration with Stellenbosch University Library \nLaunched in 2
 018, Plan S is an initiative by Science Europe for Open Access publish
 ing. The initiative that promotes making full and immediate Open Acces
 s a reality, has received much criticism of its implementation guideli
 nes.  There is concern about the transition to this model amongst bot
 h commercial publishers and a range of learned society journal publish
 ers. 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 t
 o read with a barrier to authorship? Through its panellists, the Round
 table will be one of many efforts to understand this contentious subje
 ct and the related issues.\nDate: 24 October 2019\nTime: 17:00 for 17:
 30 – 19:30 SAST\nVenue: JS Gericke Library Auditorium, Stellenbosch 
 University, Victoria & Ryneveld Streets This event will be live stream
