I looked up a number of journals on journalprices.com, as was recommended during the recent session.
Suprisingly I found that the "high profile" journals we often complain about aren't actually more expensive than
the new open access journals (at least using the measure this website uses).example (Relative Cost Index):
Nature: 0.07
PLOS Biology: 0.12
Journal of Neuroscience: 0.28
Neuron: 0.31So, does this mean that in terms of effective cost for the institute (including what the library pays for access in terms of Nature, or the author in terms of PLOS), is Nature the cheapest of the above?
From this it seems to me that the journal that are really the problem are high priced, commerical journals that few people read but charge a high access fee.
For example: Hippocampus (3.1) or Cognitive Neuropsychology (3.98) (and there are many with >40).
Thus, high-profile journals like Nature are _not_ the problem?Login or register to post commentsRising prices for high profile titles like Nature, the Cell Press titles, Science, etc. will ultimately be met by reducing purchases of low value and high priced titles such as the ones you mention. This is happening at all institutions. So, the question still stands regarding a more sustainable and broadly application model that provides the peer-review certification and also makes the papers accessible. The web technology certainly makes for many possibilities. - Kimberly Douglas (Caltech) October 4, 2007 Comment deleted- joined JournalFire!September 16, 2007
