Support to the further operation of cOAlition S
cOAlition S is an international consortium of research funding and performing organisations that are committed to making full and immediate open access to research publications a reality. cOAlition S has developed Plan S whereby research funders mandate that access to research publications generated through their research grants must be free to access on the day of publication.
