Description
Introduction Publishing electronically allows fast, easy, and widespread dissemination of information, it lowers the cost of editing, and it allows content to be stored in a way that complements and rivals the traditional paper format. The World Wide Web has created expectations for free, instant and unmediated communication between writers and readers. It led journal editors, librarians, and readers to believe that scholarly journals, in the sciences and other areas, would become cheaper through widespread digitization. A brief reality check paints a different picture, with serial price inflation approaching 10% per year (almost five times the US Consumer Price Index) as reported by EBSCO (1), and by Library Journal (2).
