Inflation: How Professional Publishing Companies Cope
August 18, 2014
I saw a Twitter message at http://bit.ly/1qI2Uow. Here is the image I noted:
I then saw by happenstance another post on Imgur, a source with which I am not familiar:
I wonder if there is a relationship between these two items. I wish I were a student so I could help the publishers deal with the rising cost of paper, shipping, etc. I also wish I could be on a faculty or a library board so I could vote for more expensive peer reviewed journals and more databases of content produced by professors and researchers. Note: I do not want to be a professor or researcher. I think the pay for scholarly output is not as good as working in some other occupations; for example, professional publishing management at Springer, Elsevier, Wiley. Of course, these data may be bogus. If true, I find them suggestive.
