I don’t think I’ve seen this
question in the discussion.
Does anyone know of an equivalent journal?
One that covers several scientific areas and has short articles that still have
some serious material. Our school serves a range of students and Science News is
a good one for those just beginning to attempt college work. But certainly
doesn’t have enough material to justify that price when they also take
advertising.

Hi,
We received a similar notice on this title late las week. Also, we
received a notice this morning stating that our subscription to Science News

Hello,
We just received a notice from our subscription agent that Scientific American
was raising their print subscription price for 2010 from $41.91 (which includes
the agent's service charge) to $299.00 Has anyone else received this
outrageous increase notice?
We are in the process of contacting the publisher to find out what might be the
cause of this dramatic price rise.
