Journal subscription prices for print journals with electronic access options increased more than those without. Aggregated electronic collections showed the lowest print price increases, but pricing is still evolving.

Area of Science:

  • Library and Information Science
  • Scholarly Communication
  • Publishing Economics

Background:

  • The proliferation of electronic access to scholarly journals has altered traditional subscription models.
  • Understanding the economic impact of different electronic access types on print journal pricing is crucial for collection development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between types of electronic journal access and the rate of print subscription price increases.
  • To compare print price increase rates across journals with varying electronic access models: electronic-only, print with "free" online access, and aggregated electronic collections.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of print subscription price increases for 300 journals over a five-year period.
  • Categorization of journals based on electronic access type: electronic priced separately, print with "free" online, aggregated collections, and print-only.

  • Calculation and graphical representation of median and mean percentage print price increases for each category.

    • Main Results:

    • Journals offering any form of electronic access exhibited higher print price increases compared to print-only titles.
    • Print journals with electronic access priced separately saw increases 3-5% higher than print-only titles.
    • Aggregated electronic collections demonstrated a consistent decrease in print price increase rates over the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Offering electronic access correlates with higher print journal subscription price increases.
    • Aggregated electronic collections currently present the most cost-effective model regarding print price escalation.
    • Journal subscription pricing models are dynamic; further longitudinal research is recommended to track evolving trends.
