Will cOAlition S funders pay APCs for alleged predatory journals? | Plan S

The choice of journal in which to submit articles for cOAlition S funded researchers rests with the author(s). The selected peer-reviewed journal should comply with their funders’ OA requirements in order for the funder to pay the publishing charges. It is assumed authors themselves would wish to publish their work only in a reputable and respected scholarly journal. If in doubt authors should liaise with their peers, consult their librarian, and/or use advice such as that on Think/Check/Submit  to ascertain the quality of their chosen journal.
