Just curious – has anyone heard what kind of reception Smits got during his visit to US government agencies and private funders a few weeks ago?

I know Robert didn’t meet with the incoming head of OSTP (Kelvin Droegemeier). Kelvin said he’s looking forward to connecting with us once he gets settled in DC (his Senate confirmation should be this month).

People can publish wherever they like. It just won’t be compliant. I come at this from a compliance point of view – that’s the angle I have in my current position. It is also why it is important to see what the actual policy is.
No-one has to take the money. Equally, it is entirely reasonable for there to be expectations and rules attached to funding. In any other environment that is completely accepted. I used to work for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the level of scrutiny and justification we had over the (comparatively small) funding we had for our Science Online and Heath Matters webpages was very high. It was taxpayers’ money in that instance, so fair enough.

And, apparently, the Plan S folks plan to “monitor compliance and sanction non-compliance.” (Those are their words, not the words of external fear-mongers.) It would be interesting to know what sanctions they intend to impose; that language sounds a bit more foreboding than just “we won’t give you a grant next time you ask for one,” though in practice that’s probably all it can really mean.

It is what that means Rick. It is what they do now for non-compliance. They have done so for several years.
