double check all subscription prices for top 5 publishers #12

Closed hpiwowar closed 3 years ago

Hi Casey,

Similar to the APC request, except it might indeed be the case that some subscription prices are not available on the web (they say "contact us for a quote").

Nonetheless, can you double check all missing subscription prices for the top five publishers, fix any you find via this QA, and send us an email report of any still missing (maybe we will include this as in RELEASE NOTES or something in the future)? Specifically:

If the journal is currently publishing (dois in 2021 is not null) and currently "gold_rate" IS NOT 1 (opposite of APC query) then ideally it would have a subscription price. Double check these. If it says "contact for a quote" then can you note that in the db somewhere so we know it was double-checked and when?

For the ones that are missing even after you double check, please make us a list of these by publisher including title and issnl etc.

Thanks!

All 2021 subscription pricing has been tracked down with missing records identified as 'contact for quote' or 'unable to find'. Details are available in the shared spreadsheet. Will work the same process for 2022 following APC deep dive.
