The JLU University Library is in charge of the University’s Open Access Publishing Fund, which was supported by the DFG under its Open-Access Publishing Programme until 2019.

The new data set covers publication fees for 315 articles, total expenditure amounts to 584 043€ and the average fee is 1 854€.
