We welcome the University of Mannheim as new contributing institution!
The University Library Mannheim manages the university’s institutional Open Access Publication Fund and has kindly provided an initial data set on APC expenditures. Please note that this fund is not supported by the DFG’s Open-Access Publishing Programme (contrary to most German universities participating in OpenAPC), but instead by Mannheim University Library, the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg and the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES).
Contact Person is Philipp Zumstein.
