Abstract
This is the thirteenth annual price study based on the “Basic List of Veterinary Medical Serials, 2nd edition.”1 The Basic List consists of three parts: core veterinary titles; an adjunct core list of serials in the biomedical and life sciences; and a list of relevant abstract and index titles. Prices are supplied by The Faxon Company. The indexing base is 1983. In the fifteen-year period from 1983-1998 the average price of titles in the combined core and adjunct core lists rose from $100.37 to $471.21. The price index rose almost 370 percentage points, an average annual increase of 24.63%. The average price of titles in the core list rose from $69.07 to $293.61. The price index in this category rose 325 percentage points, an average of 21.67% per year. The average price of the 85 titles on the adjunct core list was $131.30 in 1983 and $646.73 in 1998. The price index in this category rose 392.54 percentage points, an average of 26.17% per year. The eighteen selected abstract and index titles in this same fifteen-year period increased in average price from $618.74 to $2,262. The index in this category rose 265.59% for an average annual increase of 17.71%, still less than for the core and adjunct core lists.
