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 Universität Hannover 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 Jessica Michel.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 189 articles (82 unrelated to any agreement, 107 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 405,952€ and the average fee is 2,148€.
