The University of Mannheim has updated its APC expenditures, providing data for the 2021 period.
The University Library Mannheim manages the university’s institutional Open Access Publication Fund. 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.
