The value of knowledge and the return on the public investment in
research depends, in part, upon wide distribution and ready access. It
is big business. In America, the core scientific publishing market is
estimated at between $7 billion and $11 billion. The International
Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers says that
there are more than 2,000 publishers worldwide specialising in these
subjects. They publish more than 1.2m articles each year in some 16,000
journals.
