The Journal Checker Tool enables researchers to check whether they can comply with their funders Plan S aligned OA policy based on the combination of journal, funder(s) and the institution(s) affiliated with the research to be published. The tool currently only identifies routes to open access compliance for Plan S aligned policies.
