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 KIT Karlsruhe 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 Rhiannon Schmitt.
Cost data
The new data covers APCs for 386 articles (215 unrelated to any agreement, 171 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 845,462€ and the average fee is 2,190€.
