Abstract
TENOPIR, Carol. Publicación de revistas electrónicas: economía de su producción, distribución y uso. ACIMED [online]. 2001, vol.9, suppl.4, pp.78-85. ISSN 1024-9435.
This paper analyses economic aspects of the scientific scholarly journal publishing, based on production costs and use data. It compares the production of traditional journals with electronic journals, discussing price policies for subscriptions and providing a guide to assess breakeven points, helping libraries to face the option of subscribing to journals or obtaining separate copies through intelibrary borrowing or document delivery.
Keywords : ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING [economic]; PRICE POLICY; DISTRIBUTION COSTS; PRINTINGS; EDITION.
