Impact of Plan S on Chemistry research in Europe

Below is given a list of journals that are present at the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) and that are listed in one of the seven categories in Chemistry in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR):

·       CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL

·       CHEMISTRY, APPLIED

·       CHEMISTRY, INORGANIC & NUCLEAR

·       CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL

·       CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY

·       CHEMISTRY, ORGANIC

·       CHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL

These seven categories include all 553 journals in Chemistry (see Appendix 1), except some general scientific journals like Nature, Science, Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, etc. and also does not include new initiatives like iScience, Chem Squared. 

The full list of 49 DOAJ entries in Chemistry (8.9% of all Chemistry journals) is given in Appendix 2, but shown here below is the list of 11 journals (2.0% of all Chemistry journals in JCR!!!!) that I recognize[1]:

• ·       ACS Central Science
• ·       Catalysts
• ·       Chemical Science
• ·       ChemistryOpen
• ·       Croatica Chemica Acta
• ·       Frontiers in Chemistry
• ·       International Journal of Molecular Sciences
• ·       Journal of Serbian Chemical Society
• ·       Molecules
• ·       Open Chemistry
• ·       RSC Advances

Except ACS Centr. Sci., Chem. Sci.and perhaps Chem.Open, these would not be obvious choices to send my manuscripts to, and I can safely say that the same can be said for 99% of the Chemistry community. Except these few examples, none of the "acceptable" journals are those that would be considered prestigious or rigorous enough for career advancement, placing researchers in an untenable situation. 

The majority of Chemistry papers are published in journals from academic societies (i.e. American Chemical Society, ChemPubSoc Europe, Royal Society of Chemistry), which have a long history of publishing high-quality journals, with rigorous peer review that have earned the trust of the Chemistry community. 

If the Plan S criteria would be applied today, 99% of these trusted journals would be out of reach for the researchers that are supported by the eleven cOAlitionS funders, which would create an unworkable and undesirable situation for Chemistry research in Europe. In the implementation of Plan S, a solution must be found for this situation.
