AB  - In the contemporary context of research, financial expenditures are escalating at an alarmingrate.This encompasses not only direct expenses associated with the research process, such asstaff, hardware, and equipment, but also the dissemination and archiving of results. Usually,these costs remain inaccessible to the public, a state of affairs that is deemed to be highlyunsatisfactory. Consequently, we assert that costs must be rendered publicly accessible in amanner analogous to research data, in accordance with the FAIR principles [1]. The openCost[2] project exemplifies the feasibility of this objective by illustrating the publication of costsassociated with the publication of an article.The utilisation of standard interfaces facilitates the aggregation of data, enabling its reuse foranalysis of costs across institutions and subjects. The overarching objective is to achievetransparency in financial flows from academic institutions to various service providers,including commercial and non-commercial repository operators, long-term archiving initiatives,and infrastructure providers.This paper was presented at the Workshop on Open Citations and Open Scholarly Metadata (WOOC 2025), held in Bologna on 28–29 May 2025. It is included in the official workshop proceedings and contributes to ongoing discussions around open infrastructures, citation data, and scholarly metadata interoperability.
