[GOAL] eLife announces plans for long-term growth

[Emily Packer]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

Hi all,

Last week, eLife announced the introduction of a publication fee of $2,500,
effective from January 1, 2017.

Introducing a fee that covers our marginal costs is part of our long-term
strategy for the health and success of the journal. We hope that our
transparent, cost-based approach will help drive a more effective and
efficient marketplace for scientific publishing.

For more details about the fee and how we’ve set it, eLife’s Mark
Patterson, Executive Director, and Jennifer McLennan, Head of External
Relations, have written a blog post:

An eLife Editorial about the fee is available to read here:

And Nature has also featured a news piece:

Please let me know if you'd like more information.

Kind regards,

Emily
