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 Technische Universität Dortmund 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 Dr. Kathrin Höhner.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 79 articles (44 unrelated to any agreement, 35 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 191,358€ and the average fee is 2,422€.
