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 Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf 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 Maik Fiedler.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 54 articles (24 unrelated to any agreement, 30 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 131,040€ and the average fee is 2,427€.
