The signatories of Plan S seem frustrated by the pace of transition to open access (OA). However, SAGE believes that the hybrid option is a crucial element in the transformation, as long as it is underpinned by meaningful local and global offsetting polices and liberal Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) archiving policies.
