Re: Self-Archiving and Journal Subscriptions: Critique of PRC

I was looking for a data on the cumulative expenditure on
author-payee open access compared to the subscription based
access model. Here is a quote from an article by John Enderby:

Researchers in the UK, for example, produce about 75,000 papers a
year, which means they would have to pay about L100m in author
fees if all journals were open access. This sum is far higher
than the L90m they currently pay in library subscriptions. (The
open-access debate.
