Journal Price Freeze for 2010
New York and Stuttgart - In a strong effort to assist libraries during their
budgetary difficulties during the current recession, Thieme Publishing Group is
freezing journal prices for 2010. This new pricing policy applies to journals with
electronic subscriptions and those journal subscriptions that include both the
print and electronic formats. Not raising prices, despite the increasing costs for
Thieme, will enable institutions to continue to provide access to critical
resources.
With past price increases for our medical and chemistry journals having kept
pretty much in-line with the increase in published pages, Thieme has a history
of having stable prices per page. Faced with these challenging economic times,
Thieme is going one step further and keeps nominal subscription prices for 2010
at this year’s level. This, we hope, will allow us to continue to work
constructively with our librarian partners in providing quality information in
medicine and chemistry to as many users as possible.
The new pricing policy aims to assist librarians, confronted with possible
budgetary cutbacks, in maintaining a consistent level of service within their
facilities. With this announcement, the publisher reconfirms its solid
commitment to the scientific, medical, and academic communities as it works in
conjunction with its partners to continue making critical content readily
available. The price freeze applies globally, and will be in place for all 2010
institutional subscriptions.
