abstract = {The Open Access Monitor Germany (OAM) records the
publication output of German academic institutions in
scientific journals and offers a freely available tool for
analysis of the aggregated datasets to libraries, funders,
and researchers. Through analyses of subscription fees and
publication fees, the OAM helps to monitor and support the
transition of the publishing system towards open access.
With the existing OpenAPC integration, the OAM has already
implemented basic functions for working with cost data. Gold
OA and Hybrid OA publication fees are displayed in the OAM
interface, where additional grouping and representation
options to those in OpenAPC are offered. As a next step
towards a more complete cost transparency, the OAM will
benefit from the data exchange enabled by OpenCost. In
addition to the fees mentioned above, the OAM will collect
via OpenAPC, and in return provide, additional cost data for
example on color charges or page charges.The second part of
the presentation describes the role of the OAM in relation
to funders. The OAM offers support to institutions applying
for funding in the DFG’s new Open Access Publication
Funding program. By providing a specific filter set for the
journal portfolios covered by transformative agreements and
a curated list of open access journals that meet the DFG’s
funding criteria, the OAM enables institutions to collect
the data required for their applications. At the same time,
the OAM team is responsible for monitoring the publication
output from participating institutions. We are building a
dedicated database for the monitoring of the program’s
output and related costs, and establish a yearly reporting
to the DFG. The Open Access Monitor will ingest the data
from the monitoring database if participating institutions
are agreeable and will offer ready-to-use analyses for the
whole program but also on the institutional level. The
monitoring data will be in turn be delivered to OpenAPC.},
