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 TU Bergakademie Freiberg had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Contact Persons are Martina Obst and Conrad Hübler.
