Which journals are covered?

What about journals that aren't covered?
Those are mostly society titles. A researcher can, of course, still make an individual decision to publish in one of the full open access journals. As these journals are not part of the Big Deal, the APCs will still need to be paid by the researcher. Or request the APC to be waived by the journal. This, however, may be denied. So it best to make a waiver request before submitting an article.
