OK, two journals are going. I'm not even going to wait for the usual liaison with academics - there isn't time. I'm cancelling now.

I've just had some usage statistics that show that between their (huge) cost and their (low) use, it's around $200 / downloaded article. Or more. (I'm looking at nearly three years worth of data and it varies).

??!?! For that money they could have almost as many inter-library loans as they cared to before it became rationale to subscribe again. They're history. [1]


[1] Well strictly speaking they're mathematical (one in French/English and one in German).
