Heidelberg University updates its APC expenditures for 2014 and 2015

Heidelberg University has updated its APC expenditures. The recent contribution completes Heidelberg’s APC data for the year 2014 and provides a large dataset for the 2015 period.

University Library Heidelberg is in charge of the Heidelberg University Open Access Publishing Fund.

Contact person is Dr. Jochen Apel, Heidelberg University Library, 0049(0)6221-54-4249, apel@ub.uni-heidelberg.de.

About the dataset

The new dataset contains information on publication fees paid from the budget of Heidelberg University’s open access publishing fund for 2015. The fund is part of DFG’s Open Access Publishing Programme. Due to a pre-pay membership with BioMed Central (leading to a discount of 20% on publication fees from this publisher) a few funding applications from 2015 are still pending, because the respective article manuscripts are still under review. Nevertheless the corresponding financial resources were spent already in 2015 in order to top up the BioMed Central membership account. Thus, the present dataset for 2015 is not complete yet. Comprehensive data will be released as soon as possible. For more information please see the fund’s website mentioned above.

Cost Data

The dataset covers publication fees for 124 articles, which the fund covered in 2015 so far. Total expenditure amounts to 183 374€ and the average fee is 1 479€.
