IGB 2023 data integrated


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 Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

Contact Person is Jana Rumler.

Cost data

The new data set covers publication fees for 9 articles. Total expenditure amounts to 18,720€ and the average fee is 2,080€. 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.

The following table provides an overview of the reported APCs:
