Plan S: Annual Review 2024

22/05/2025

Plan S is a funder-led initiative to promote Open Access (OA) publishing. The funders endorsing Plan S – united in cOAlition S – require that from 2021 scientific publications that result from research funded by their grants must be published in compliant Open Access journals or platforms.

At cOAlition S, we are committed to accelerating the transition to Open Access. As an international consortium of research funding and performing organisations, in collaboration with the European Commission, we have been rolling out policies and tools since 2018 adhering to the principles laid out in Plan S.

In this annual review, we provide an overview of our activities in 2024, along with the latest advancements regarding our policies. Furthermore, we outline ongoing initiatives that will significantly influence our future steps. The review also sheds light on specific actions taken by cOAlition S organisations in the realm of scholarly communication.
