%T How much is the fish? : openCost for cost transparency and sustainable and FAIR scientific publishing

%X The publication of articles, books, data, software, or any otherscientific output is not free of charge. Often, researchers must usetheir own funds to pay invoices from service providers. As a result,these invoices can easily get lost in the accounting systems ofresearch organizations, even though they consume a considerableportion of the research budget.To counter this risk, costs must be stored as metadata alongside theresearch findings and made publicly available in a standardized andmachine-readable form. To this end, openCost has developed an exchangeformat and proposes the well-established OAI-PMH interface to exposeit from a repository, CRIS, or any other suitably equipped systems.As the name suggests, the openCost format is openly available and canmodel any cost type in any publishing model, thus facilitating costtransparency. Besides external costs (e.g., APCs), the current schemaalso allows for the modeling of internal costs, such as those forstorage, long-term archiving, staff, or indexing services.The workshop will begin with a brief presentation of the openCostschema and its constituent parts. However, the majority of the time isreserved for discussion with the participants. We want to hear aboutyour use cases and requirements for cost mappings in the context ofOpen Science with the aim of integrating them into the schema.
