Our partner project OpenAPC Sweden collects APC data from institutions in Sweden.
New articles ingested after our first exchange in 2017 have now been added to OpenAPC as well.
Cost data
The ingested data covers publication fees for 2,770 articles published by Swedish institutions (This includes all articles already imported in September 2017). Total expenditure amounts to 4 737 102€ and the average fee is 1 710€.
Note that OpenAPC did neither include articles already present in its offsetting data collection nor articles with a cost of 0€, so the net intake is lower than what might be expected.
The following table and plots show a breakdown of the payments.
