Yes we too are seeing the escalating journal costs.  For example JAMA is discontinuing it's print + online sub option. If we want to maintain online access, we need to purchase a site license at a 200% increase.  Or we make do with print, which we have to do for Nature, because of prohibitive site license costs.

Diane,

Yes, our price increased significantly for 2012.  I inquired with our Sage rep and did not much of a justification for the drastic price increase.  It is never good when the email starts..."I wish I had a better answer for you..."

Subject: [SERIALST] Psychological Science -- 30% price increase?

Anyone else have it go up 30% from 2011 to 2012?  I looked at our order record and it has been increasing by 10-20% as far back as the order record goes, but this is even worse.
