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 10,139 articles published by UK institutions. Total expenditure amounts to 23 861 962€ and the average fee is 2 353€. Please note that these numbers do not equal the net increases, as articles reported by the Wellcome Trust were removed when forming duplicates with the Jisc data.
