In May 2016 the National Library of Sweden started their own OpenAPC project to collect cost data from Swedish HEIs. So far articles added to openapc-se have been made available to OpenAPC in a biannual ingestion interval. The last exchange happened in February 2022.
From now on the National Library wants to establish a new workflow and has kindly made APC expenditures for 1 Swedish institution available to OpenAPC via pull request on GitHub.
Contact person for the National Library is Camilla Lindelöw.
