Price transparency: let's make it simple
Description
Hybrid and subscription journals are a persistent feature of the scholarly communication landscape. Pricing for such journals, however, is based on old print rates and associated with above-inflation price increases, a lack of transparency, and concerns about double dipping. This article proposes that paywalled content be re-priced based on a fixed fee per paywalled article. This proposed nominal read fee offers simple, transparent pricing that eliminates the opportunity for double dipping.
