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 Heidelberg University 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. Georg Schwesinger.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 608 article (297 unrelated to any agreement, 311 published under an agreement like DEAL).
