Abstract
- “Between 1975 and 2005 the average cost of journals in chemistry and physics rose from $76.84 to $1,879.56. In the same period, the cost of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline rose from 55 cents to $1.82. If the gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry and physics journals over this period it would have reached $12.43 in 2005, and would be over $14.50 today” (Lewis).
- The average price for Chemistry journals in 2013 was $4,296 (Bogart & Turock).
- .55/x = 76.84/4,296.00
- x = 30.75
- If “the gallon of gas had increased in price at the same rate as chemistry … journals” from 1975 to 2013, today’s gas prices would be over $30.75 per gallon.
