Like Jason Harper, I suggested to the NPG sales rep. that the price for our
institutional licence to The EMBO Journal should be based on staff and
student FTEs in our School of Biology & Biochemistry. He insisted that all
our science staff and students – including psychologists and geographers -
had to be counted in order to be given a quote for 2004. Interestingly,
unlike Jason, I was permitted to omit computer scientists and engineers. The
result of the calculations was an increase in price from £864 to £2061
