petersuber3/ The <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NIH</a> policy is all-green (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GreenOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenOA</a>). It requires deposit in an OA repository, PubMed Central (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PMC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PMC</a>). It does not require publishing in an OA journal.If you're an NIH-funded author and a journal tells you that you must pay an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#APC</a> to comply with the policy, it's lying. Compliance with the policy is free of charge. If a journal asks you to pay an APC, it's only to publish in that particular journal. Consider taking your submission elsewhere.

petersuberThe Royal Society of Chemistry (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/RSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSC</a>) just issued a vague and puzzling statement about its plans. <a href="https://www.rsc.org/news/our-evolving-approach-to-open-access" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.rsc.org/news/our-evolving-approach-to-open-access</a>It once planned to convert all its journals to <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> by 2028. By which it apparently meant <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#APC</a>-based OA. But after talking with customers in different parts of the world, it learned that some regions "are not yet ready for fully OA." By which it means APC-based OA. "The resounding message we heard over and over is that one size cannot fit all." By which it means that not all can pay APCs. "It became clear that we needed to adapt our vision for openness to account for a landscape that is increasing in complexity and no longer coalescing around a single direction for open research." As if the global landscape had ever coalesced around support for APCs. But RSC is still committed to some kind of transition to OA. "We are now shaping our future OA approach to support authors in ways that suit them best in a local context." If it plans to support no-APC forms of OA, it carefully avoids saying so. It never mentions <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GreenOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenOA</a> and never endorses <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a>. (It mentions one diamond OA initiative in Africa, but it's not an RSC initiative.)I'm guessing that it plans to rely on locally customized <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ReadAndPublish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReadAndPublish</a> agreements. (I've argued that all such agreements use APCs in disguise.) But if so, why not say so? If it has other models in mind for regions "not ready" for APC-based OA, why not say what they are? <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#APCs</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/South" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#South</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScholComm</a>
