BIPS joins OpenAPC

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 Leibniz-Institut für Präventionsforschung und Epidemiologie - BIPS (Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology) had agreed to share the data with OpenAPC as well. This data has now been transferred and integrated, making the institution participate in OpenAPC for the first time.

Contact person for BIPS is Lara Christianson.
