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 Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences 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 Katharina Emig.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 11 articles (10 unrelated to any agreement, 1 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 17,891€ and the average fee is 1,626€.
