ABSTRACT
I take some comfort in the fact that economists have looked at the issue of publishing and have given us the same numbers that we as publishers see. Publishers too are under economic pressures. I want to convey some of these to you so you can see some of the difficulties publishers face. The American Chemical Society is a not-for-profit organization. But at the same time, as I tell many people, it’s also not-for-loss. We must generate revenues to carry our program forward.
