"The Society Publishers’ Coalition (SocPC)" is a group of like-minded, not-for-profit, learned societies, community publishers, and charities who publish as part of their charitable objectives. These groups re-invest the surplus from their publishing endeavors into the disciplinary communities they serve.

"Members of the Society Publishers’ Coalition (SocPC) are making steady and deliberate progress towards open access (OA) publishing in individual articles and entire journals. Published research is being disseminated more widely, reaching higher impact levels. Plan S was introduced in Europe in 2018. More recently, the Biden-Harris administration announced that United States research agencies should make the results of federally-funded research – articles and data– freely available without embargo by the end of 2025 or sooner. As a result of these developments, society publishers and other players in the scholarly communications system have been embracing open access publishing as part of a move towards open research".

The January 2023 report is "A shared commitment to open scholarship."
