Leibniz Institute for Resilience Research joins OpenAPC


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 for Resilience Research 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.

Cost data

The new data covers APCs for 10 articles (4 unrelated to any agreement, 6 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 28,542€ and the average fee is 2,854€.

The following table provides an overview.
