> In total Cambridge spent ?1.68 million of RCUK funds on APCs (this is up
> from ?1.28 last year)
> 1920 articles identified as being RCUK funded were submitted to the Open
> Access Service, of which 1248 required payment for RCUK*
> The average article processing charge was ?1850 ? this is significantly less
> than the ?2008 average last year, reflecting the value of the memberships
> we have (see below)
> *Note these numbers will differ slightly from the report due to the
> difference in dates between the calendar and financial years (see below).

> The blog explains the University?s expenditure on non-APC costs, and also
