Jisc Collections has been gathering and releasing data on APC payments made by UK higher education institutions (HEIs).
Aggregated data for the last year has been made available recently and is now included into OpenAPC.
Since the data format employed by Jisc differs from the OpenAPC standard in several ways, a comprehensive pre- and postprocessing had to be conducted. The README in the Jisc data folder provides more details.
New ingestion
The ingested data covers publication fees for 13,306 articles published by UK institutions. Total expenditure amounts to 30 942 629€ and the average fee is 2 325€.
