[Open-access] [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers

Fri Apr 25 06:35:42 UTC 2014

As I commented on Gowers' post, these figures (not by publisher but by library) are open knowledge in Germany:

German libraries spent in 2011

    170 million € on books
    130 million € on subscriptions

Here the link to an English overview for 2012 (2013 is still in the works):

These figures are broken down in different sections in several documents - but all of these are in German only.
