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 Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Questions regarding the data should be directed at the ZALF library.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 65 articles (34 unrelated to any agreement, 31 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 131,724€ and the average fee is 2,027€.
