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 University of Stuttgart 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 Stefan Drößler.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 208 articles (128 unrelated to any agreement, 80 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 479,367€ and the average fee is 2,305€.
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
