Max Planck Digital Library updates its 2016 expenditures


The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) has reported its APC expenditures for BMC journals in 2016.

MPDL provides institutional funding for Open Access publications for researchers affiliated with the Max Planck Society. MPDL makes use of central agreements with Open Access publishers.

Please note that article processing charges funded locally by Max Planck Institutes are not part of this data set. The Max Planck Society has a limited input tax reduction. The refund of input VAT for APC is 20%.
