Longitudinal Study of Scientific Journal Prices in a Research Library.
Marks, Kenneth E; And Others
College and Research Libraries, v52 n2 p125-38 Mar 1991
Describes a study that evaluated the determinants of price increases of scientific journals over time from a variety of publishers, disciplines, and countries. It was found that inflation and greater journal length explained most price increases, and that journal prices from commercial publishers increased much more rapidly than those from nonprofit publishers.
