Abstract

US$ subscribers are currently paying smaller or negative 'surcharges' for European journals, when US$ prices are compared with the corresponding EURO prices. Large differences in the relative cost effectiveness were observed across three publisher titles. The maximum variance in 'cost per use per Impact Factor' analysis for solid state physics journals was over 20/1.
