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 Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf 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 Sonja Clauditz.

The new data covers APCs for 351 articles (130 unrelated to any agreement, 221 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 906,391€ and the average fee is 2,582€.
