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 Museum für Naturkunde - Leibniz-Institut für Evolutions- und Biodiversitätsforschung 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 Stefanie Paß.
