HU Berlin 2024 data integrated


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 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

Institutional contact for the data set is the HU Library Open Access Team.

Cost data

The new data covers APCs for 110 article (43 unrelated to any agreement, 67 published under an agreement like DEAL).
