Leuphana joins OpenAPC


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 Leuphana University Lüneburg had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

Cost data

The initial data set provided by the Leuphana covers publication fees for 24 articles, total expenditure amounts to 39,659€ and the average fee is 1,652€. 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.
