Use statistics are generally based on the fiscal year, July 1 -
June 30. Elsevier and Kluwer statistics are based on the calendar year. Journal
prices are also based on the calendar year. We realize that this is
confusing, but that's how things work.
The following table shows prices paid over the past several years and the number of uses recorded. In some cases, online use is available. In those cases, the number of PDF files accessed is listed. More data on pricing and journal uses is available. If you would like to receive a copy of this Excel spreadsheet, please contact Kerry Kresse.
