Trends in journal prices: an analysis of selected journals, 2000-2006
journal contribution
posted on 2008-02-21, 16:56 authored by Claire Creaser, Sonya WhiteThis paper presents summary results from an analysis of the institutional subscription prices
for journals in biomedical and social sciences, for a selection of eleven publishers. Overall
price, price per page and price per point of impact factor have been examined between 2000
and 2006. Considerable variation was found between publishers both in their overall levels of
price and in the rates of increase observed over the period. There is some evidence that not-for-
profit publishers may, on average, offer better value for money in terms of price per page
and price per point of impact factor, but this is far from conclusive.
