Dear colleagues, similar to recent initiatives in UK or Canada, the first German universities and the Max Planck Digital Library started to publish APC data under a Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL).
Common goal of our initiative is to document the paid APCs and to ensure price transparency on this market. For data publication and analysis we are using a GitHub-Repository: https://github.com/njahn82/unibiAPC The following institutions started to take part: Bielefeld University Leibniz Universität Hannover KIT Karlsruhe Max Planck Digital Library University of Duisburg-Essen University of Regensburg A normalised dataset for all institutions with 1,432 OA-articles (1,732,556 EURO) so far is available directly here: https://github.com/njahn82/unibiAPC/blob/master/data/apc_de.csv Best, Dirk Pieper & Najko Jahn Bielefeld UL _______________________________________________ GOAL mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/goal
