As part of the DFG program “Open Access Publication Funding” (OAPK), participating institutions provide publication cost data to the Central Library of Forschungszentrum Jülich, which is responsible for monitoring. The institutions providing the data can also agree to the data being passed on to OpenAPC. This data set has now been successfully transmitted to OpenAPC in openCost format for the second time.

All gold OA data from the OAPK reporting year 2023 has now been processed in OpenAPC. The publication cost data reported for 2023 for the hybrid DEAL journals was transmitted from Jülich to OpenAPC in a fully automated process for the first time. OpenAPC has also evaluated and processed the hybrid DEAL data.
