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 Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg 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 Kim Braun.

The new data covers APCs for 187 articles (84 unrelated to any agreement, 103 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 424,126€ and the average fee is 2,268€.
