"The Fair Open Access Alliance (FOAA) is a foundation that coordinates efforts toward sustainable Open Access publication. It is an umbrella organisation regrouping various disciplinary endeavors that help transition academic subscription journals to Fair Open Access: Linguistics in Open Access (LingOA), Mathematics in Open Access (MathOA), and Psychology in Open Access (PsyOA). FOAA also has various Sponsor Participants who contribute financially to the effort of coordination. Sponsor Participants include university libraries with a keen interest in promoting the change towards sustainable Open Access in the academic journal publishing landscape. FOAA collects the experience that has been gained in transitioning the linguistics and mathematics journals at LingOA and MathOA, and supports editors in all disciplines who wish to do the same with legal and practical advice. It also seeks and manages funding for its disciplinary participants...."
