Abstract
Like global tectonic plates moving on a collision course, the world of scholarly journals—made up of authors, readers, librarians, and publishers—is headed for seismic upheavals that must result in major alterations in the landscape. Librarians, hit with declining budgets and escalating journal prices, are canceling subscriptions. Publishers, facing declining subscription levels, raise rates to compensate, and then some. The increase in the output of research papers balloons the size and cost of journals. The vision of meaningful access to current information by scientists in developing countries is further off than ever.
