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 Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg 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 Charlotte Meixner.
