Journal subscription costs - FOIs to UK universities
收藏资源简介:
This dataset contains the amount of money paid by UK higher education institutions to ten major publishers (Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Taylor & Francis, Sage, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Nature Publishing Group, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Institute of Physics Publishing) for academic journals from 2010-14. The data was obtained by sending FOI requests to each institution through the website whatdotheyknow.com. It now represents over £430m of expenditure. These are ten of the largest academic publishers but do not represent the total spend of these institutions on academic journals. Please see the F1000 data note (http://f1000research.com/articles/3-274/v3) for a full description of the data collection process. For a visualisation of the data go to http://shiny.retr0.me/journal_costs/, and for updated 2015/16 figures go to https://figshare.com/articles/Journal_subscription_expenditure_in_the_UK_2015-16/4542433/3 UPDATE 08/10/2014: Added figures for 13 more institutions. UPDATE 22/10/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to Elsevier journals. Also includes additional figures for other publishers for 16 institutions. UPDATE 24/10/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to Elsevier journals for 13 more institutions. UPDATE 27/10/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to Elsevier journals for 5 more institutions. UPDATE 29/10/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to Elsevier journals for 25 more institutions. UPDATE 5/11/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to Elsevier journals for 14 more institutions. UPDATE 25/11/2014: Added figures for Wiley, Springer, and OUP for 20 Russell Group institutions from Michelle Brook's FOI data (http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1250073) as well as further figures for around 20 other institutions. UPDATE 03/12/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to various publishers for 13 institutions. UPDATE 09/12/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to various publishers for 15 institutions. UPDATE 23/12/2014: Added figures for subscriptions to various publishers for 12 institutions. Note on the data 16/01/2015: It has been brought to my attention that the way I have added VAT to some figures may not be 100% accurate. I have added VAT to those figures for which it was not provided (a minority), but since VAT is only applied to electronic and not print publications in the UK, the figures I have added may not be completely accurate. Electronic subscriptions make up the majority of journal expenditure now but not all of it. Please bear this is mind when directly comparing different institutions' figures. I will see revisit the data at some point to see if I can rectify the problem. UPDATE 22/01/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to various publishers for 16 institutions. UPDATE 20/03/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to various publishers for 16 institutions. I have also removed the VAT (17.5% in 2010, 20% in 2011-14) which I had previously added to those figures which excluded VAT. This is to address the issue raised above - in the UK, VAT is only charged on electronic publications and not print. Since I don't know which proportion of the expenditure is on print and which is on electronic, I have decided not to add VAT. This may not make the figures more accurate but at least I can be sure that I am not inflating them. The total is now around £5m lower than before. UPDATE 05/06/2015: Data for three more publishers added (NPG, RSC, and IOP) for 70 institutions. Added figures for various other publishers for three institutions. UPDATES 10/06/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to NPG, RSC, and IOP for 17 institutions. Fixed two formatting errors as noted by D. Himmelstein in the comments. UPDATE 12/06/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to NPG, RSC, and IOP for 20 institutions. UPDATE 17/06/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to NPG, RSC, and IOP for 27 institutions. UPDATE 29/06/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to NPG, RSC, and IOP for 7 institutions. UPDATE 29/07/2015: Added figures for subscriptions to NPG, RSC, and IOP for 5 institutions.
本数据集收录了2010至2014年间,英国高等教育机构向十大主流学术出版商支付的学术期刊订阅费用,这十家出版商分别为爱思唯尔(Elsevier)、威立(Wiley)、施普林格(Springer)、泰勒与弗朗西斯(Taylor & Francis)、赛吉(Sage)、牛津大学出版社(Oxford University Press)、剑桥大学出版社(Cambridge University Press)、自然出版集团(Nature Publishing Group)、英国皇家化学学会(Royal Society of Chemistry)以及英国物理学会出版社(Institute of Physics Publishing)。 本数据集的数据通过whatdotheyknow.com网站向各高校提交信息自由(Freedom of Information, FOI)请求获取,目前涵盖总支出逾4.3亿英镑。需说明的是,上述十家出版商仅为学术出版领域规模领先的机构,并非英国高校学术期刊订阅总支出的全部覆盖范畴。 数据集收集流程的完整说明请参阅F1000数据文档(http://f1000research.com/articles/3-274/v3);数据集可视化工具可访问http://shiny.retr0.me/journal_costs/;2015至2016年的更新数据集可访问https://figshare.com/articles/Journal_subscription_expenditure_in_the_UK_2015-16/4542433/3。 ### 数据更新日志 2014年10月8日更新:新增13所高校的相关支出数据。 2014年10月22日更新:新增爱思唯尔期刊订阅数据,同时新增16所高校向其他出版商支付的订阅费用数据。 2014年10月24日更新:新增13所高校的爱思唯尔期刊订阅数据。 2014年10月27日更新:新增5所高校的爱思唯尔期刊订阅数据。 2014年10月29日更新:新增25所高校的爱思唯尔期刊订阅数据。 2014年11月5日更新:新增14所高校的爱思唯尔期刊订阅数据。 2014年11月25日更新:新增罗素大学集团(Russell Group)20所高校向爱思唯尔、威立、施普林格及牛津大学出版社支付的订阅数据(数据来源于米歇尔·布鲁克斯的信息自由请求数据集,http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1250073),同时新增约20所高校的其他出版商订阅数据。 2014年12月3日更新:新增13所高校向多类出版商支付的订阅数据。 2014年12月9日更新:新增15所高校向多类出版商支付的订阅数据。 2014年12月23日更新:新增12所高校向多类出版商支付的订阅数据。 2015年1月16日数据说明:有用户反馈,我此前为部分未包含增值税(Value Added Tax, VAT)的数据补充税额的方式并非完全准确。由于英国仅对电子出版物征收增值税,印刷版无需缴纳,因此补充的税额可能存在偏差。当前学术期刊订阅支出中电子订阅占多数,但并非全部。在直接对比不同高校的支出数据时,请留意这一局限性。后续我将考虑重新梳理该数据集以修正此问题。 2015年1月22日更新:新增16所高校向多类出版商支付的订阅数据。 2015年3月20日更新:新增16所高校向多类出版商支付的订阅数据;同时移除了此前为不含增值税的数据补充的增值税(2010年税率为17.5%,2011至2014年税率为20%),以解决前述问题。鉴于英国仅对电子出版物征收增值税,且我无法得知各机构支出中印刷版与电子版的占比,因此决定不再额外添加增值税。此举虽未必能提升数据准确性,但至少避免了虚增支出总额。当前总支出较此前减少约500万英镑。 2015年6月5日更新:新增70所高校向自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社支付的订阅数据,同时新增3所高校向其他出版商支付的订阅数据。 2015年6月10日更新:新增17所高校的自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社订阅数据,并修正了D.希梅尔施泰因(D. Himmelstein)在评论中指出的两处格式错误。 2015年6月12日更新:新增20所高校的自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社订阅数据。 2015年6月17日更新:新增27所高校的自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社订阅数据。 2015年6月29日更新:新增7所高校的自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社订阅数据。 2015年7月29日更新:新增5所高校的自然出版集团、英国皇家化学学会及英国物理学会出版社订阅数据。
