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 Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg 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 Tonka Stoyanova.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 407 articles (180 unrelated to any agreement, 227 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 897,430€ and the average fee is 2,205€.
The following table provides an overview. Please note that BPCs are not included in this list, as they are aggregated in OpenAPC’s BPC dataset
