We are happy to announce our first successful data ingestion via OAI-PMH. In a collaboration with Regensburg University Library our colleagues there managed to include the OpenAPC metadata directly into their institutional repository where it can be harvested using the OAI-PMH protocol.
This will make submissions via mail or pull requests unnecessary for Regensburg in the future, as OpenAPC will actively harvest the data in regular intervals.
Regensburg University Library is in charge of the central publication fund at University of Regensburg, which receives support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) under its Open-Access Publishing Programme.
Contact person is Dr. Gernot Deinzer.
Cost data
The harvested data contains 484 articles and replaces all previous data submitted by Regensburg University Library. Total expenditure amounts to 652 522€ and the average fee is 1 348€.
Overview
The overall APC data for Regensburg now looks as follows:
