Abstract: Since 2017, The National Library of Sweden is commissioned by the government to monitor the total expenditures for scholarly publishing at higher education institutions (HEI). The result is presented in a yearly reportto the government. The Bibsam Consortium negotiates national read and/or publish agreements with 30-plus publishers, which the HEIs can choose to participate in. The presentation will provide an overview of the processes involved in gathering different typesof expenditures, with a focus on article processing charges not covered by the agreements –information shared with the Open APC Initiative.
