Davis graphs of Bergstrom-McAfee journal data

Philip Davis, Journal Cost-Effectiveness Tables and Graphs, a preprint, November 29, 2005. A visual presentation of the data collected by Ted Bergstrom and Preston McAfee for their web site on journal cost-effectiveness. From Davis' rationale: "The following tables and graphs focus on making comparisons between profit and non-profit publishers. The six largest publishers (Blackwell, Elsevier, Sage, Springer-Kluwer, Taylor & Francis and Wiley) are highlighted for comparison. This report does not advocate a particular position, nor does it necessarily represent the position of the author’s employer or institution.
