Elsevier 2010 subscription price list

lis-e-resources)

Again, also with Elsevier "business as usual" (no price freeze).

Average price increase is 5,5%, median 5%. Lancet increases 9,5%, 
Urban & Fischer by 7%, US Journals by 6%, other Elsevier Journals 
by 5,5%, Cell Press by 4%. What is different from previous years 
is, that price increases (there are very few decreases) are now 
treated journal by journal and no longer by applying a uniform 
percentage for most of the titles as was the case in previous 
years.

Not only Nucl. Phys. B has dropped in price but also Physics 
Letters B (for 2010 both - 20%), which shows that SCOAP3 is 
already having an effect. Elsevier's HEP Journals are apparently 
massively losing authors / papers, e.g. NPB and PLB publish only 
2/3 and 1/2 of what they published 4 years ago. On the other 
hand, other journals which expand (like Optik or Protist or some 
medical titles like Annals of Vascular surgery), increase by 25% 
in price.
