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 Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated, making the institution participate in OpenAPC for the first time.

The new data covers APCs for 12 articles (None unrelated to any agreement, 12 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 44,107€ and the average fee is 3,676€.
