QOAM has started a list of journals which are *technically* Plan
S-compliant. Please read https://www.qoam.eu/tools#plan-s.  We could
initiate the list with the journals which have a DOAJ Seal of Approval.
Now the first publishers are coming on board.



Concurrently, the Fair Open Access Alliance is developing a Breakdown of
Publication Services and Fees in order to meet the *transparency*
requirements of Plan S.  Please read
https://www.fairopenaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/0.4-press-release-nov-2019-Fair-Open-Access-breakdown1.pdf.
As soon as cOAlition S has defined these requirements, the list in QOAM
will be adapted accordingly.



For fully OA journals it is enough to meet these two requirement categories
in order to be compliant?  Hybrid journals have to be included in a so
called *transformative* agreement as well.  These agreements must guarantee
that the journals will be fully OA at the end of the transition period.
Discussions on realization are under way.
