The Forschungszentrum Jülich collects publication cost data from German institutions as part of the DFG programme “Open Access Publication Funding”.
When reporting their publication costs, the University of Kassel had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Contact person is Dr. Tobias Pohlmann.
Cost data
The new data set covers publication fees for 94 articles. Total expenditure amounts to 198 131€ and the average fee is 2 108€. Please note that articles published in hybrid journals under the DEAL agreements are not included in this list, as they are aggregated in OpenAPC’s transformative agreements data set.
