摘要：We analyze the empirical relationship between journal prices, their quality
measured by their citation counts, their age, as well as conduct of publishers.
The database covers 22 scientific fields and over 2600 among the most highly
reputed and cited journals in 2003. We show that (a) for-profit journals charge
roughly 3 times more than journals run by scientific societies; (b) the number
of citations has a positive impact on prices; (c) there are large differences in
prices across fields that vary from 1 and 6; these are highly (and positively)
correlated with the degree of concentration in the industry.
