ZALF joins OpenAPC


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 Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated, making the institution participate in OpenAPC for the first time.

Cost data

The initial data set covers publication fees for 44 articles, total expenditure amounts to 112,616€ and the average fee is 2,559€. Please note that articles published in hybrid journals under the DEAL agreement are not included in this list, as they are aggregated in OpenAPC’s transformative agreements data set.
