1. TUHH articles supported by the Open Access Fund
With the beginning of the Open Week, 25 essays by authors from the TUHH with the year of publication 2020 have been funded. This becomes clear from an overview of the articles that have been funded so far. The journals in which these articles have been published are pure Open Access (Golden Open Access) journals.
The following table from the final report to the DFG on the “Promotion of Open Access Publishing at the TU Hamburg 2018-2019” breaks down the articles funded per year according to the individual deans of studies at the TUHH.

2. Openness regarding the costs of articles supported by the TUHH’s Open Access Fund
Since 2014, the TU Library has submitted the exact costs (including taxes) for the funded individual articles to the OpenAPC project, which is also funded by the DFG. This provides a TUHH-related overview of the costs, which at the same time shows to which publishers the money went:
This overview does not include articles that were financed with funds outside the Open Access Fund at the TUHH. This also applies to articles in normal subscription journals (Hybrid Open Access) for which these have been activated for an extra fee or to articles that are now published Open Access under the terms of the Deal agreements.
3. Overview of the share of Open Access in the publication output of the TUHH
The DFG and BMBF funded Open Access Monitor of the Central Library of Research Centre Jülich now allows further publication and cost analyses for publication by the TU Hamburg. With this interactive tool, for example, one can obtain an estimate of the proportion of Open Access in all TUHH publications. It also provides an overview of the number of TUHH publications by publisher and also by journal.
A good 40% of all articles from the TUHH in the years 2016 to 2020 have already been published in Open Access:
