TU Dortmund 2022 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 Technische Universität Dortmund had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

Dortmund University Library is in charge of the University’s Open Access Publishing Fund, which receives support by the DFG under its Open Access Publication Funding Programme.

Contact person is Dr. Kathrin Höhner.
