Total Costs of Open Access and Publication to Finnish Institutions

This dataset contains data related to the total costs of open access and publication to Finnish universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutes, gathered as part of the wider monitoring of open science and research in Finland.

Currently, the dataset covers subscriptions, transformative agreements, article and book processing charges (APCs and BPCs), printed materials, costs related to the implementation and management of OA, institutions’ own scholarly OA publishing, costs of OA infrastructure, costs of Green OA, and fees paid to Finnish scholarly journals. In time, additional data may be included.

There are three categories of data:

- Survey data collected by The Coordination of Open Science and Research (OScaR) in Finland through the wider monitoring of open science and research in Finland;
- FinELib data obtained from the service unit of the FinELib Consortium;
- OpenAPC data relating to Finnish institutions.

Survey manuals, detailing the approach used when collecting the data, are also available.

The results, including interactive charts, are published on a dedicated website at research.fi: https://research.fi/en/science-innovation-policy/open-science-and-research-indicators/indicators_content_4
