RWTH joins OpenAPC
26 Jan 2023We welcome the RWTH Aachen as new contributing institution!
As part of the JOIN² network the RWTH library integrates data data on publication costs into their INVENIO repository, where OpenAPC can harvest the records via the OAI-PMH protocol. This has now been done for the first time, with OpenAPC ingesting a first data set consisting of Gold APCs.
Contact Person is Corinna Mescherowsky.
