What's ironic in itself is that the mentioned paper ("A comprehensive overview of chemical-free consumer products", published by Wiley; i.e. an empty page) costs $38 to download as PDF: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ciuz.201600750/full http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ciuz.2016007...
This makes it the most expensive piece of literature (cost per word) that I know of.
- visarga 9y agoThose journals got to recoup their expenses and hard work. /s
- hateduser2 9y agoI suppose they just set a default price for all papers, and manually adjust others or something like that? I’m sure it’s not as silly as it seems right
- visarga 9y agoI'm sure they could price by number of pages.
- Vinnl 9y agoUnfortunately, most scientific and scholarly literature is among the most expensive pieces of literature.
- delinka 9y ago“Scientific.” “Scholarly.” Given its, uh, content, this particular paper can really be classified as anything.
- Vinnl 9y ago"most" i.e. I wasn't talking about this specific paper, but most of all the other papers.
- delinka 9y agoIndeed you were not. However, given that you generalized about the categories within which this paper presumably lies, I felt it amusing to point out that, using this paper as a start, one could generalize about any particular categories of papers.
- Vinnl 9y agoOh, that might just be the result of my not being a native speaker. In my language, the term "scientific" refers to articles in both the Humanities and Social Sciences as well as what Science refers to in English. Hence, I usually feel the need to specify all of those. In other words: it had nothing to do with the mentioned article being part of those domains :)
- onychomys 9y agoSince it's zero words long, it would be the most expensive piece of literature no matter what price they set on it!
