abstract = {The openCost-project is funded by the German Research
Foundation and was launched by the three project partners
Bielefeld University Library, University Library Regensburg
and DESY Central Library in 2022. The project's main goal is
to promote standardized collecting of publication cost data
in order to improve the transparency of costs within
institutions and also enable inter-institutional cost
comparisons. This kind of data includes publication-related
fees like APCs or submission fees, but also costs from
transformative OA agreements or memberships. The basic idea
is to integrate financial data directly into repositories on
record level, making it accessible together with the
existing bibliographic metadata. For this purpose, a
metadata schema was developed to comprehensively store and
exchange data. This XML schema and how the partner
institutions utilize it to enrich their repositories with
publication cost data will be presented. An open interface
for harvesting and querying via OAI-PMH is to be implemented
and realized exemplarily on the publication servers of the
universities of Bielefeld, Regensburg as well as DESY and
its partner institutions of the shared repository
infrastructure JOIN². Via OAI-PMH, service providers (e.g.
aggregators and research funding agencies) can harvest data
directly from the institutions. Within the project’s
framework, this is demonstrated by the OpenAPC service
(Bielefeld). By implementing a technical interface, the
services of the Electronic Journals Library EZB (Regensburg)
will also be extended to include detailed information on OA
publication costs, to be finally used as a central
information platform for communicating OA information to
researchers. Overall, the development of the openCost
standard is carried out with the involvement of national and
international expertise, including continuous public
discussion and feedback rounds on the agenda. Accordingly,
openCost lives open science from the idea through the
implementation phase to the target of comprehensive cost
transparency in the scientific publication process.},
