Definitive Priced Journals -

More than 75 Gordon and Breach and Harwood Academic journals are
definitively priced for the year.  We have made a commitment to
subscribers that there will be no supplemental billings for additional
material during the course of the year.

Most G&B/HAP journals publish under the 'flow' system, which, while a
benefit to authors, may cause a degree of uncertainty in the
finality of the announced subscription
rate. This system allows for an unexpected amount of accepted papers to
publish quickly without being constrained by page limits.
Therefore, the initial subscription offering has
in the past been subject to further invoicing during the year.

In response to input from libraries, and in order to facilitate proper
library budget allocation, G&B/HAP have selected more than one
third of their journal list to be
designated "definitive", which means invoices will be generated only once
for volumes projected to publish in the next calendar year.
The initial subscription offering is final; it will be the only one
during the given year.
Although definitive journals are subject to
annual price increases, you will be invoiced only once each year for a
minimum three years.
