Medizinische Hochschule Brandenburg 2022 APC 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 Medizinische Hochschule Brandenburg Theodor Fontane (MHB) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

The MHB Library is in charge of the University’s Open Access Publishing Fund, which is supported under the DFG’s Open Access Publishing Programme until 2022.

Contact Person is Marcel Nieme.
