Subject: List of most expensive bio-medical serials by title or publisher?

A faculty member has approached me about a list of the most expensive
biomedical journals and their publishers. I vaguely remember seeing such
a list years ago but I have not seen a recent one. Our own journal
reports are only based on our current subscription and do not include
information about biomedical titles we do not hold.

I am aware of the reports and analyses that have been done at other
institutions, e.g. the Scripps price study. However, those lists are
-similar to ours- based on data for the subscriptions of one
institution.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
