Are there any figures out, how much publishing costs respective the entire
costs of research?
Specifically, I would like to know:
1. From a research grant, what is an average (probably by research area
varying) number of publications produced? Or how many publications are
produced in a year by NSF, NIH, Wellcome Trust at what total funding budget?
2. How does the number of publications correlate with the size of a grant?
3. What are the approximate cost of the production, including dissemination
of the final product, ie publication, both printed and electronically?
4. Thus it might be possible to come up with a relative figure how much is
needed to produce the content of a publication?
5. Are there figure on the revenues generated by a publication?
With best thanks for some insights
