Pricing Policy and Conditions 2010

2010 Change to our Institutional Pricing Policy

From 2010 onwards, and for most of our journals we publish, the online only price will be the 'base' price for all journals (rather than the print-plus-online or combined price). In these instances, the print only price will be 110% and the combined price 120% of the online only price.

Oxford Journals will continue to offer standard (print plus online), online only and print only subscription options on individual journals.

  • Online-only Institutional Subscription - Site-wide online-only access (the 'base price' - 100% of the list price).
  • Print-only Institutional Subscription - Print-only subscriptions are available at a 10% premium on the Online only Institutional Subscription. This will entitle the customer to receive a print copy of each issue of the title for each calendar year.
  • Standard Institutional Subscription - Print with Online subscription includes a combined print subscription with site-wide online access to the title at a 20% premium on the Online-only Institutional Subscription.

*Online access for items 1 and 3 above include:
