Abstract
This paper considers the effects of electronic publishing on social science researchers, specifically as it relates to statistical data dissemination. Data of interest to social scientists are increasingly available only in electronic formats and, in Canada at least, at inflated prices. Canadian federal government cost-recovery and revenue generation initiatives of the mid-1980s encouraged government agencies to treat information as a marketable commodity.
