New Library Journal Study Finds IEEE Still Better Value Than Other Publishers
|
May 2009—According to the 2009 Library Journal Pricing Survey, the cost of scientific and engineering journals continues to soar. That’s not the case with IEEE journals, which are priced to be a better value for researchers in all areas of technology. In addition to being the industry’s most comprehensive reference resource, with access to almost a third of the world's current electrical engineering and computer science literature, IEEE is offering that access at significantly lower prices than other competitive commercial publications—further adding to the value of being affiliated with IEEE. Using the same calculation method as the annual Library Journal Periodical Price Survey, which looks at the cost of journal and periodical subscriptions in various industries, the average cost of an individual IEEE journal for 2009 is just US$730. Compared to the US$2,047 average price of an engineering journal, the value of a subscription with IEEE is obvious—IEEE journals are priced 65% lower than the competition. |
