Boycotting the Nature Publishing Group
Posted by John Baez
The Nature Publishing Group publishes not only the prestigious journal
Nature, but also many others. When this company bought Scientific American,
it raised the institutional subscription price seven-fold. Now they are
insisting on quadrupling the fees for 67 journals to which the University of
California subscribes.
Right now, we pay them an average of $4,465 per year for each journal we
subscribe to. After the increase, this would soar to $17,479 per year.
In response, the University of California is considering a system-wide
boycott of the Nature Publishing Group — for example, cancelling
subscriptions to all their journals. | l********k
