From Google's English: Abstract: The Transform2Open project, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), focuses on the financial dimension of the open access transformation. The project aims to contribute to the further development of budgets, criteria, and competencies, and to advance procedures for promoting cost transparency at the local, national, and international levels.
These recommendations for institutional publication cost monitoring are aimed at university and institutional management and offer a solid introduction to the concept of the information budget, with a particular focus on the costs of academic publishing. The manual provides practical recommendations for establishing effective publication cost monitoring and implementing an information budget, thus supporting the individual strategic orientation of academic institutions in an increasingly open and dynamic publishing landscape.
