Something You Don't See Everyday, Two Scholarly Journals Will Have Lower Site-License Prices in 2010

Nature Publishing is reducing the subscription price of The EMBO [European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO] Journal and EMBO reports by 9% in 2010 due to the, "increased publication of Open Access content in 2008."

From the Announcement:

We've taken into account all of the relevant data in reaching this decision, including the number of Open Access articles published in 2008," said David Hoole, Head of Content Licensing, NPG. "This change reflects the recent growth in the amount of Open Access content in both journals and the corresponding partial coverage of publication costs by author charges."

For the 2010 subscription year, there will be a 9% reduction on the 2009 site licence list price. This reduction is net of an annual inflationary price increase. Print and personal subscription prices are unaffected.

[Snip]

For the 2011 subscription year onwards, both the site licence price and author fees will be considered in an effort to achieve equitable distribution of the costs of publication. This evaluation will involve an in-depth review of all factors relevant to the publication process, including the proportion of Open Access content and authors' ability to pay for Open Access and other publication-related costs.

NPG publishes and EMBO reports on behalf of EMBO. An Open Access option on both journals was introduced in January 2007. NPG has implemented hybrid models across many of its academic journals, and expects those titles to show price reductions in due course, as the volume of open access increases.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
