Dear lists,

while working on my dissertation thesis I gathered - more or less as a 
by-product - information from studies and reports on the (first copy) 
costs of a scientific article. As a result, it can only be noted that 
the information available on these costs (and related costs as margins) 
are very difficult to compare. This confirms my impression that there is 
a huge lack of transparency in the scientific publications market. You 
will find a table with the (very raw) results form my synopsis her: 
http://www.scinoptica.com/pages/topics/first-copy-costs-of-scientific-articles---a-short-overview.php

The information is also available via GitHub 
(https://github.com/scinoptica/article_costs.git). Of course I know that 
this overview is really premature, but I just wanted to let other people 
interested in scientific publishing know that it exists - so please feel 
free to improve/ update the data or add new information.


Best regards

Ulrich
