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 Münster 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 Viola Voß.

The new data covers APCs for 348 articles (157 unrelated to any agreement, 191 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 878,249€ and the average fee is 2,524€.
