The Forschungszentrum Jülich collects publication cost data from German institutions as part of the DFG programme “Open Access Publication Funding”.
When reporting their publication costs, the University of Potsdam had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Potsdam University Library is in charge of the University’s Open Access Publishing Fund, which receives support under the DFG’s Open Access Publication Funding Programme.
