There is widespread consensus that we need to move to a more open and equitable publishing model. There are also plenty of ideas around about how a new model might work, one of the recent ones being the paper from Plan S: Towards Responsible Publishing. In this proposed future, the output of research is envisaged as being firmly in the hands of the researcher. But what does this mean in practice? And how are we going to make this happen? What are the obstacles and how can we overcome them? This panel will discuss some of these questions from the viewpoint of different stakeholders who are all grappling with what the future might look like and how it impacts how they work now.
