There is little consistent evidence of associations between price, impact factor and number of pages. Data relating to some publishers for some subject areas show significant correlations, most frequently between price and number of pages.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
