Academic Library Pricing Dataset for SciFinder Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus: 2018-2024 | Journal of eScience Librarianship

This dataset contains database pricing and agreements received through public records requests made to members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and a few non-ARL research libraries. Pricing from the years 2018 to 2024, depending on the institution, is included for three premium academic databases: SciFinder from the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstract Service, Web of Science from Clarivate, and Scopus from Elsevier. The pricing in this dataset is difficult to acquire and of significant interest to libraries that license these products and those wishing to investigate pricing strategies and approaches in the library database market.
