Illustration of the lowered cost achieved by comparing price development over time had the previous agreement been prolonged (blue line) with the price development for the new agreement offered (orange line). The upper red line shows the price development of the previous agreement including an estimate of the APCs that would be paid outside the agreement, had they all been published OA
