Each year, EBSCO strives to help its academic and academic medical library customers plan their library budgets by projecting publisher price increases for the upcoming year. We use recent information received from publishers, as well as historical price data to calculate these projections. As of now, we expect the overall effective publisher price increases for academic and academic medical libraries in 2022 to be in the range of three to five percent for individual titles and one to three percent for e-journal packages.
The Serials Price Projection Report also looks at market dynamics, highlighting many topics and trends that impact the scholarly information marketplace, including how economic factors influence publisher pricing, library budget challenges, e-journal packages, Open Access, and non-renewal of print subscriptions.
