The Central Library (ZB) of Forschungszentrum Jülich is monitoring the “Open Access Publication Funding” programme on behalf of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The aim of monitoring the programme is to create transparency regarding the publications being funded and the financial resources available as well as the way they are spent. Furthermore, the goal is to improve the availability of data at the institutions.

Information on monitoring the funding programme, on the data scheme, and the possibility of reusing the data can be found on the following website.
