openapc-treemaps

openapc-treemaps implements a visual frontend for the OpenAPC project, which collects and disseminates information on fee-based Open Access publishing from participating universities and research institutes. The data is provided by a small backend OLAP service named openapc-olap (GitHub). openapc-treemaps is based on the project OffenerHaushalt (GitHub) by the Open Knowlege Foundation.

Building the site

Build instructions are identical to the original project OffenerHaushalt. Requirements:

• Python 3.10, virtualenv
• node.js >= v21.1.0 with npm, and global installs of: uglify-js + less

When you have openapc-treemaps checked out, follow these steps:

bower install
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py develop

You can then run the site using the Flask script cli:

flask --app treemaps.web run -h 0.0.0.0

Having verified that the application work, you can build a frozen version of all the contents in this database by running:

python freeze.py

This will make a plain HTML version of the visualizations.
