This is a collection of links to information, opinion, activism, and other issues concerning the practices of research journal publishers (particularly in the mathematical sciences).  Further contributions are welcome.


== The cost of knowledge ==

: Main article: ''[[The cost of knowledge]]''

[http://thecostofknowledge.com/ The cost of knowledge] is a web page at which one may register a protest against the practices of Elsevier by pledging not to submit a paper to an Elsevier journal, not to referee for an Elsevier journal, not to join an editorial board of an Elsevier journal, or some combination of the three.  This site was inspired by the following blog post:

== Mathematics journal price tables ==

The following tables list the ten most expensive mathematics journals by volume list price (as of 2008), and (for comparison) the ten mathematics journals with the highest impact factor (as of 2000).  One should caution that due to complicated (and, in some cases, [http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/~tedb/Journals/BundleContracts.html deliberately obscured]) bundling agreements, the actual price of subscriptions to many journals (including Elsevier journals) may differ somewhat from the official list price.  Nevertheless, these tables should convey the rough order of magnitude, at least, of journal costs from publisher to publisher.

Data is drawn from [http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~rehmann/BIB/AMS/Price_per_Volume.html this set of 2007 journal price data] and [http://in-cites.com/research/2001/oct_15_2001-2.html this list of 2000 ISI impact factors].  All prices in US dollars.

== Data from libraries ==

Pricing data from libraries is often hard to come by (for instance, many bundling contracts come with confidentiality agreements).  More links in this section would be greatly appreciated.
