Abstract

The concerns of librarians and other subscribers about the rising prices of scientific journal subscriptions are placed in context in this discussion of the marketing mix: product, price, provider and promotion. Journal prices are affected by such disparate elements as demands on scientists to publish or perish, agents' discounts, and currency fluctuations. The influence of technology-from widespread use of photocopying machines to the anticipated obsolescence of print media-also affects prices.
