<Apologies for cross posting>

Hello all, 

We have just published a blog post: "Cambridge RCUK Block Grant spend for 2016-2017” https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463 <https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463>
Headline numbers

In total Cambridge spent £1.68 million of RCUK funds on APCs (this is up from £1.28 last year)
1920 articles identified as being RCUK funded were submitted to the Open Access Service, of which 1248 required payment for RCUK*
The average article processing charge was £1850 – this is significantly less than the £2008 average last year,  reflecting the value of the memberships we have (see below)
*Note these numbers will differ slightly from the report due to the difference in dates between the calendar and financial years (see below).

The blog explains the University’s expenditure on non-APC costs, and also analyses the value for money of a few of the offset deals and memberships in which we are participating.
