Abstract:The report is the result of a survey of 275 publishers, of which 183 responded; 149 responses were valid and included in the analysis. The executive summary is available free of charge from ALPSP. Some of the major findings are: 782 new journal titles have been launched by the publishers analyzed in the last five years; 75% of journals published are available online; pricing structures vary for bundles and appears to be tied to the print version; consortia agreements vary; and larger publishers offer simpler pricing and more usage rights than smaller publishers. The report concludes that the market for online journals is still in a developing and experimental stage.
