[Eril-l] publishers freezing prices for 2021

[Kim Maxwell]

Hi all,

Also on my list are SPIE and University of California Journals.

SPIE is *reducing* the price of its journals and digital library by 10% for 2021:
https://spie.org/news/spie-digital-library-to-reduce-institutional-subscription-prices-by-ten-percent-for-2021?SSO=1

University of California Press Journals will be kept at 2020 prices (i.e., 0% price increase)
Here's the announcement from LIBLICENSE on 5/26/2020:

To: LIBLICENSE-L at LISTSERV.CRL.EDU
Subject: UC Press announces: no price increases for 2020-2021 year
Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 10:38:14 PM
From: Jeff Hester <jhester at ucpress.edu>
Date: Tue, May 26, 2020 at 8:15 PM

Dear colleagues,
As a non-profit, mission-driven publisher, at University of California Press we always aim to publish quality content
with great value, modest prices, and reasonable annual price increases. For the upcoming academic year, we are
pleased to announce that subscribers to UC Press journals will not see their prices increase for subscription
renewals. New pricing-same as the old pricing!-takes effect on July 1, 2020, and runs through June 30, 2021.
See here for our 2020-2021 journals price list.

We've decided to keep pricing flat for the 2020-2021 academic year in recognition of any potential budget
uncertainties that may arise out of the current COVID-19 crisis.

The only exception to UC Press's 2020-2021 pricing is for our newly acquired journal Current History: existing
Current History subscribers who renew their subscriptions for 2020-2021 will be grandfathered into their existing
2019-2020 subscription prices. Only new (not renewing) Current History subscribers will see a moderate price
increase commensurate with the journal's frequency and new hosting platform.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at journalssales at ucpress.edu<mailto:journalssales at ucpress.edu>.

Best regards,

Jeff

Hi Sarah,

I think you can add JAMA to that list.  We received this notification from them on June 10:
