Economics of Scientific and Biomedical Journals by Haekyung Jeon–Slaughter, Andrew A. Herkovic, and Michael A. Keller
htt p://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_3/jeon/index.html

Abstract:
The emergence of e–journals brought a great change in scholarly communication and in the behavior of scholars. However, the importance of scholars’ behavior in the pricing of scientific journal has been largely ignored in the recent debate between libraries and publishers over site license practices and pricing schemes. Stanford’s survey results indicate that sharply increasing costs are the main reason for individual subscription cancellation, driving users to rely on library or other institutional subscriptions. Libraries continue to be a vital information provider in the electronic era and their bargaining power in the market and the importance of roles in scholarly communication will be increased by branding and a strong relationship with users. Publishers’ strategy for thriving in the electronic era is not to lose personal subscribers. Cooperation among the three sectors — scholars, libraries, and publishers — promises optimal results for each sector more than ever.

While online versions of Nature, Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science enjoy widespread readership in the scientific and medical communities, a recent survey shows that researchers most often read specialty journals that are closely associated with their particular field. Additionally, the prestige of a journal and the size of its overall readership do not always result in exceptionally high levels of user satisfaction. [PRWEB Mar 25, 2005]

National Institutes of Health proposes
full, open, public access to biomedical
research
09/09/2004 12:44 PM

The National Institutes of Health is recommending that researchers who receive NIH funding make their work available to the world for no cost six months after completion:

Under the proposed policy, journal peer-review committees would vet papers that report results from NIH-sponsored research. Once the journal has edited and published the articles, editors would upload them to a searchable Web site and NIH would make them publicly available within 6 months.
The NIH initially recommended immediate publication, but added the six month embargo as a compromise with publishers, who argued that immediate availability would undermine their business model.

The Economics of Piracy


The Economics of Piracy 01/05/2004 11:35 PM

On Piracy, or, Nick Bradbury is an Amazing Idiot: This was written in response to Nick Bradbury's bit about piracy from yesterday.

...most people who pirate his software probably would never use it anyway, so they aren't costing him any money and they're providing him with free advertising.

This is a good point. I'm not defending piracy, but piracy costs a company money in only one instance: when a person who has the means and inclination to buy the software pirates it instead. I can get a pirated copy of Oracle, but that doesn't mean I've cost that company money, because if I couldn't pirate it, I wouldn't buy it — I'd use something cheaper or free.

Now, there are holes in this theory, of course, because if true, it essentially means that poor people can pirate anything they want because they couldn't or wouldn't buy it otherwise. But I get annoyed when Microsoft claims that piracy costs it untold billions of dollars a year. This is a little arrogant. Microsoft is basically saying that every single person who pirated their software would have paid full price for it if piracy wasn't an option.

This is patently ridiculous and Microsoft knows it, but big numbers make big headlines. If Office was suddenly un-piratable, would Microsoft reap a billion-dollar windfall from would-be thieves? Nope — Open Office would just saturate the market in a big hurry. When the only options are paying for it or finding a much cheaper alternative, 99% of pirates will choose the latter.

E conomics and Race: "Twenty-seven-year-old Harvard economist Roland Fryer grew up poor and black, in a family that was falling apart. His mother abandoned him. His father drank heavily and beat him. Fryer sold drugs and carried a gun. Then, at age 15, after he got pulled over by the police and then let go, he decided he wanted something different."

The International Economics Network
http://www.international economics.net/

The International Economics Network is a collection of key resources for international economics, as well as other related disciplines, including, inter alia, global business and finance, international law, and international development. It was inspired by the absence of an annotated, selective international economics-specific portal, together with Jamus Jerome Lim's personal interest in the subject and a desire to make the existing body of working papers and news articles on international economics conveniently accessible to a wide audience. Hence the birth of the site. The site is constantly growing as resources are added on an almost daily basis - mostly in the News & Commentary and Research Papers sections. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Business Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
