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 Education Freiburg 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 Christian Berger.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 10 articles (10 unrelated to any agreement, none published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 14,035€ and the average fee is 1,404€.
