DESY 2024 data integrated


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 Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY 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 Alexander Wagner.

Cost data

The new data covers APCs for 63 articles (31 unrelated to any agreement, 32 published under an agreement like DEAL). Total APC expenditure amounts to 159,401€ and the average fee is 2,530€.
