I’ve just read Springer’s press release announcing that “…over 30 journals
published a significant share of paid open access articles in 2009” and that
“this will be reflected in these journals’ 2011 subscription prices”.
I wonder whether this will be reflected in the individual subscription prices
for those journals only, or whether subscription bundles including those
journals will also be affected? Is there anyone from Springer on this list who
can answer that, or indeed anyone else from other publishers who have taken OA
uptake into account when setting subscription prices?
