Swiss funder joins open-access initiative, which praises Springer Nature for reaching targets
The Plan S open-access initiative has hailed the signing up of a new funder and progress within the portfolio of one of its largest participating publishers.
On 1 June, Plan S announced that the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) had joined Coalition S, its international group of funders requiring the researchers they support to make resulting papers openly available immediately.
