HZDR 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 Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated.

The HZDR Library manages the HZDR’s spending on OA journals.
