DPZ 2023 data integrated


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 Deutsches Primatenzentrum - Leibniz-Institut für Primatenforschung (DPZ) (German Primate Center – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

Cost data

The new data set covers publication fees for 16 articles. Total expenditure amounts to 31,348€ and the average fee is 1,959€.

The following table provides an overview of the reported APCs:
