摘要：That the economic security of newly established journals in nontraditional interdisciplinary fields of science admits doubt is not debatable. Beset on the one hand with problems of winning a subscribership among individuals lacking a common background, and on the other by preprint exchanges, competition with other journals, and by photocopy technology, it is no wonder that publishers search for stability. Since cross sections of subscription records over the last ten years for many journals have demonstrated an increasing percentage of institutional and a decreasing percentage of personal subscriptions, this search has led to dependence on the library market.
