The main principle of Plan S states that all research funded from public or private grants must be openly accessible when published. There are, in addition, ten sub-principals:

#Authors should have copyright of their publications, which should be made available under a Creative Commons Attribution license;
#Robust criteria for evaluation in high-quality open access journals, platforms and repositories should be developed;
#Funders should provide incentives to establish and support open access journals where there aren’t any;
#Funders should cover the cost of publication fees;
#Funders should support the diversity of business models for open access journals and platforms;
#Funders should ensure transparency by supporting alignment of strategies, policies and practices;
#Monographs and book chapters should have a longer process of achieving open access;
#Hybrid models of publishing should be only be a means of transforming to full open access;
#Funders should monitor compliance;
#Research outputs should be assessed on the basis of their internal value, and not their scientometric characteristics. <ref>Principles and Implementation | Plan S [Internet].

In September 2018, 11 national research funding organizations (from Austria, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden and United Kingdom) signed a commitment to implement all that is necessary for the Plan S mission by 1<sup>st</sup> January 2020.
