APC data collection template

Jisc Collections is collecting data on article processing charge (APC) payments made by UK higher education institutions (HEIs). This is something that Jisc can help all HEIs with on an ongoing basis. This template spreadsheet has been designed to be used by HEIs to record and monitor their APC payments. Using a standard template will help to produce comparable data between institutions which can be more easily aggregated. The data fields have been chosen from careful analysis of HEI needs. This means the spreadsheet can be used for both internal reporting, and external reporting to the Charity Open Access Fund (COAF) for compliance monitoring. Transparency of APC payments can help us to understand the current state of expenditure on APCs and will lead to greater understanding of the scholarly communication system. The existing columns in the template should not be changed, but HEIs are free to add any additional fields. This allows the template to remain standardised and interoperable while also being extensible. Further details available here: https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/Jisc-Monitor/APC-data-collection/ It is recommended that institutions archive the spreadsheets that they release in an online research repository, such as figshare or their own institutional repository. Jisc Collections can do this on behalf of institutions if necessary. Jisc Collections will also aggregate the data from all participating institutions. If you spot any errors please let us know at [e-mail] Any UK HEI which has paid any APCs may participate in the data collection. Institutions outside of the UK are welcome to make use of the template.杰斯克馆藏（Jisc Collections）目前正收集英国高等教育机构（UK Higher Education Institutions，以下简称HEIs）支付的文章处理费（Article Processing Charge，以下简称APC）相关数据。本机构可长期为所有HEIs提供相关支持。 本模板电子表格专为HEIs设计，用于记录并监控其APC支付情况。采用标准模板可实现不同机构间的数据可比性，便于后续开展数据聚合工作。表格的数据字段均经过对HEIs实际需求的细致分析后选定，因此既可用于内部报告编制，也可用于向慈善开放存取基金（Charity Open Access Fund，以下简称COAF）提交外部报告以满足合规监控要求。 APC支付的透明度有助于我们掌握APC支出的当前态势，进而深化对学术传播体系的认知。模板中预设的列请勿修改，但HEIs可自行添加任意额外字段。此举既能保障模板的标准化与互操作性，又可兼顾扩展性。 更多详细信息可访问以下链接：https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/Jisc-Monitor/APC-data-collection/。 建议各机构将发布的电子表格存档至在线研究仓储平台，如figshare或本校机构仓储。如有需要，杰斯克馆藏可代为完成此项存档工作。 杰斯克馆藏还将聚合所有参与机构提交的数据。如发现任何错误，请通过[e-mail]联系我们。 所有支付过APC的英国HEIs均可参与本次数据收集工作。非英国地区的机构也可使用本模板。
