- Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 14:51:58 +0900

    皆様
    アメリカ生理学会の雑誌が、著者支払いのOAオプションの収入により、
    2009年度は価格上昇を2.5%に押さえることができそうだというニュース
    です。
    2008年度の上昇の半分以下とのことで、図書館員にとっても朗報みた
    いなことが書いてありますが、どんなもんなんでしょうね。

> `AMERICAN PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY (APS) ANNOUNCES 2009 SUBSCRIPTION` `PRICES`

> `Nominal increase of 2.5 percent for 2009 subscriptions is due to` `income from new Author's Choice Program`

> `Bethesda, MD (May 16, 2008) -The cost of subscribing to the 14` `scientific journals published by the American Physiological` `Society (APS; www.the-APS.org <http://www.the-aps.org/> ) will` `rise by a nominal 2.5 percent in 2009. Margaret Reich, Executive` `Editor of the journals, said the increase will apply to` `subscriptions for the American Journal of Physiology - Cell` `Physiology; American Journal of Physiology - Consolidated;` `American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism;` `American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver` `Physiology; American Journal of Physiology - Heart and` `Circulatory Physiology; American Journal of Physiology - Lung` `Cellular and Molecular Physiology; American Journal of Physiology` `- Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology; American` `Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology; Journal of Applied` `Physiology; Journal of Neurophysiology; Physiological Genomics;` `Physiological Reviews; Physiology; and The Physiologist.-`

>     Author's Choice Revenues Responsible for Small Increase

> `The less-than-expected increase is due in part to revenues` `generated by the Society's new program, Author's Choice. The` `program, introduced nine months ago, allows authors who publish` `with the APS and want to provide the public with immediate access` `to the results the ability to do so, for a fee. Author response` `to the new program has been positive.`

> `According to Reich, 'The APS is a nonprofit organization working` `with a largely nonprofit subscriber base. We have chosen to use a` `portion of our new revenues to help offset the cost of` `subscriptions.' As a result, next year's increase is` `approximately 50 percent less than the increase announced for` `2008.`

> `Reich noted that this is an economically tumultuous time for the` `academic librarians, the Society's primary customer. 'Using new,` `non-subscriber revenue to help reduce the burden of costs on our` `customers is one of several ways we hope to help minimize some of` `the difficult choices librarians now face,' she said.`

> `The APS' 14 journals are a continuing contribution to the` `advancement of scientific knowledge and education, and have been` `since our first scientific journal was published in 1898,` `according to APS Executive Director Martin Frank. He noted,` `'Then, as now, the APS remains committed to the distribution of` `our content at a cost that is within reach of the user.'`
