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 GESIS - Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 8 articles (8 unrelated to any agreement, 0 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 15,596€ and the average fee is 1,950€.
The following table provides an overview.
