Editorial commentary
Plataforma S is the regional counterpart in name to Plan S, articulating a Latin American/Iberoamerican framework that emphasises non-commercial diamond OA, community ownership of infrastructure, multilingual scholarship, and resistance to APC-driven business models. It is referenced in regional policy declarations (CLACSO, UNESCO LAC, AmeliCA) as the umbrella articulation of integrated Iberoamerican scholarly communication infrastructure.
