I have more information on this & it's a worrying trend to me. This is happening in Lancet journals.
1. The author submits the manuscript to the journal. They see it's marked compliant with our #openaccess policy & see that the Lancet has an OA option on their website
3. The author asks to make sure that paper is OA to comply with their funder mandate
4. The journal responds that the article type has been picked that does not allow for OA so unfortunately their request is denied

I've been thinking about #PlanS a lot since the announcement. I've been reflecting on my experience with the foundation's policy implementation. Random thoughts:

I agree & think that there is enough funder experience in #openaccess policy implementation to successfully implement this. While it's important to critically review each new policy development the community that wants to see change really needs to support any effort to change
