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 Siegen had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Contact person for the data set is Lena Vinnemann.
Cost data
The new data set covers publication fees for 38 articles, total expenditure amounts to 84 307€ and the average fee is 2 219€. Please note that articles published in hybrid journals under the DEAL agreements are not included in this list, as they are aggregated in OpenAPC’s transformative agreements data set. BPCs are aggregated in OpenAPC’s BPC dataset and are not listed here either.
