Abstract: The talk highlights the importance of repositories in the Open Access publishing landscape and addresses the transparency challenges associated with diverse payment models. The authors propose a solution through the OpenCost project, introducing a new 'contract' record type with a dedicated metadata schema in repositories. This schema includes cost data and unique identifiers, allowing for the direct linkage of publications to specific contracts. The approach provides a means to transparently track the financial aspects of publishing, offering insights into expenditures for Open Access. By referencing contracts in the metadata, the system accommodates large transformative agreements, enabling a comprehensive overview of costs related to publications at a national and institutional level. This enhancement ensures financial transparency when all data is shared under a free license, contributing to a better understanding of the transformation process in scholarly publishing.
