Everything is worrying at the moment but something I am wondering is if we should worry about the scientific publishers. Elsevier, Nature, #PLoS, maybe even #BiorXiv and others - is it possible that the US government forces them to either stop publishing, delete some or all of their published papers, or only accept papers that correspond to specific criteria?

Edited because I thought most of these were US-based but they are not.

Please tell me there is nothing to worry about on that front at least..

#PLOS warnt vor neuen US-Executive Orders, die die wissenschaftliche #Freiheit und #Integrität gefährden könnten.

Einschränkungen bei #Forschungsthemen, Sprachvorgaben oder das Entfernen wissenschaftlicher Daten untergraben den Fortschritt.

PLOS betont, dass es keine Kompromisse bei der #Qualität und #Transparenz von #Forschung geben wird. 🔬📖

Update. "PLOS [@PLOS] statement on recent US Executive Orders and scientific integrity"
theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/p

"We are deeply concerned about a range of recent US Executive Orders that collectively have the potential to dismantle the US scientific enterprise as it has existed for the past 70 years…We will not approve changes to terminology or removal of data that compromise the scientific accuracy of content. Requests to remove legitimate authors from manuscripts violate our authorship policies which are grounded in principles of credit, accountability and transparency…We are actively working to understand the evolving implications of these directives and the disruption they have brought…We remain dedicated to the advancement of #OpenScience."

"Grounded in equity and price transparency, our goal [at #PLOS, @PLOS] is to develop a sustainable, non-APC [#DiamondOA] business model for all research outputs in collaboration with funders, libraries, and scientific institutions. This business model aims to be a catalyst for a global shift away from #APCs, enabling greater participation in #OpenScience and paving the way toward long-term sustainability."

In March 2021, @PLOS #ComputationalBiology started mandating #OpenCode. Good move.
theplosblog.plos.org/2023/09/c

'"If the research process included the creation of custom code, the authors were required to make it available during the peer review assessment & make it public upon…publication…At the end of the year-long trial period, code sharing had risen from 53%…to 87%…The journal decided to make code sharing a permanent [policy]. Today, the sharing rate is 96%."

The Official PLOS Blog · How does mandated code-sharing change peer review? - The Official PLOS BlogOn March 31 2021, PLOS Computational Biology introduced a new journal requirement: mandated code sharing. If the research process included the creation of custom code, the authors were required to make it available during the peer review assessment, and to make it public upon the publication of their research article.

"Inclusivity and equity are core to a strong foundation of Open Science, and we need to hear from all perspectives in order to make science, the process of publishing science, and the solutions science inspires, more robust. *PLOS Mental Health* and *PLOS Complex Systems* will strive to represent research from local experts around the world, and from across various disciplines."

Update. I think the Lancet is wrong to assume that new funder #openaccess policies will be #gold more often than #green. (All the US policies are green.) But either way, it's right to waive or discount APCs when authors can't find funding from their funders or employers.

Next: Like #PLOS and others, it should investigate no-APC (#diamond) OA publishing for all authors, not just those facing economic hardship.

BTW, how often do authors pay APCs out of pocket?

Nine publishers just expressed "full support" for the new White House #OSTP guidelines for federal agency #openaccess policies.
eurekalert.org/news-releases/9

"Our main message is simple: publishing in any journal published by this group already meets or exceeds the requirements outlined in the OSTP memo."

The signatory publishers are #Copernicus Publications, #eLife, #Frontiers, #JMIR Publications, #MDPI, Open Library of Humanities (#OLH), #PeerJ, #PLOS, and #Ubiquity Press.

EurekAlert!Supporting the OSTP memorandum “Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research”The undersigned Open Access scholarly publishers express our full support for Dr. Alondra Nelson’s United States Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memorandum “Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research.”
