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 GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Contact persons for the data set are Barbara Schmidt and Heidi Düpow.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 81 articles (53 unrelated to any agreement, 28 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 168,161€ and the average fee is 2,076€.
