Summary:
In May 2016 the National Library of Sweden started their own OpenAPC project to collect cost data from Swedish HEIs. This data has now also been integrated into the original OpenAPC collection.
The ingested data covers publication fees for 1,550 articles published by Swedish institutions. Total expenditure amounts to 2 627 985€ and the average fee is 1 695€.
Note that OpenAPC did neither include articles already present in its offsetting data collection nor articles with a cost of 0€, so the net intake is lower than what might be expected.
