Journal price increases

Bill Hooker has a blog called Open Reading Frame, which has an item on increases in journal prices. He shows that, in dollar prices:
From 1990 to 2008, total price increases ranged from 238% (astronomy) to 537% (general science); that's 3.7 and 8.3 times the increase in the CPI [consumer price index], respectively.

Would the publishers care to tell us how this is the case?

I thought of drawing a graph to show the difference between Information Research and other 'Platinum track' journals and the priced publications but, on reflection, I felt that a graph showing an annual zero percent increase from a base of zero would not be particularly interesting! (Later - in a comment, Bill Hooker points out that the flat line is interesting evidence that some publishing models can keep costs down. I'm happy to be able to support that!)

  1. Seems I only ever come by here to disagree with you...

    "...would not be particularly interesting" -- I, well, disagree. :-)

    That flat line for IR is proof positive that, for some models, journal production costs can actually be managed such that pricing is kept *below* the CPI. Such models might not scale to, say, biomed research (high volume of submissions, wider range of data types to display, and so on) but production cost information is so hard to come by that *any* such information is useful!

  2. Thanks for that, Bill - I'll modify the post accordingly :-)

  13. I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our lives, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


    I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
