Good morning,

 

I just received the annual journal renewal invoice from my subscription vendor.  At first site, it looked like Annals of Internal Medicine had about a 2.5% decrease from 2020 to 2021.  However, further investigation show that the number of issues decreased from 24 per year to 12 per year.  This doubled the per issue price.  Most publishers had very small increases, or even decreases in the subscription prices.  Has anyone contact the ACP about this?  If yes, what did they say?
