Dear All,

I am trying to establish (in the specific context of scholarly journals)
whether anyone knows of any research that has been undertaken to establish
the dollar cost of a) implementing the peer review of a scholarly paper, b)
distributing a scholarly paper electronically.

If so, I would be grateful for details of what the estimated costs were, and
links to any papers/reports that were produced as a result of that research
(if they are available on an OA basis).

Thanks in advance.
