The Technische Universität München (TUM) has updated its expenditures, providing data on APCs and on articles published under the German DEAL agreements with Wiley, Springer Nature and Elsevier for the 2024 period.
The TUM University Library is in charge of the University’s Open Access Publishing Fund, which received support by the DFG under its Open-Access Publishing Programme until 2019.
