American Chemical Society ACS Publications Value- Based Pricing 2 Brett Thomas Sales Manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa ACS Proprietary & Confidential

Agenda Introduction: How do we offer value in tough economic times? 1) We give something back (‘Mission-based’ publishing) 2) We price our customers only for what they use (ACS Value Based Pricing) 3) We respond to market feedback (ICOLC requests and our response) ACS Proprietary & Confidential 3

American Chemical Society Giving something back 4ACS Proprietary & Confidential

Value Proposition: Quality at a fair price ACS Proprietary & Confidential 5 Quality Price per download High Low High ACS

6 ACS Proprietary & Confidential We publish 40 peer reviewed journals covering the broad spectrum of the chemical sciences Publish with a mission - most ACS Journals tie back to Technical Divisions Use technology to surpass user expectations in submitting and locating the research they need Maintain a peer review system that strives to provide feedback and guidance Recruit & retain the best arbiters of chemical research in the world ACS Publications – What We Do

American Chemical Society ACS Value-Based Pricing Overview & Perspective 11ACS Proprietary & Confidential

models ACS Develops a Modern Pricing Plan Collection Repository Access Why reinvent pricing for ACS Journals? Scientific publishing world : One universal pricing metric – the cost of a printed subscription 12 Location ACS Proprietary & Confidential

ACS Develops a Modern Pricing Plan (cont.) The scientific publishing world: & beyond –Printed journals go Digital –Subscriptions to titles evolving toward Database access - Collection to Corpus The challenge for ACS & other publishers –Fees customers pay evolved from the print titles they purchased many years ago –By modern metrics, fees are no longer equitable – similar customers do not pay similar fees Subscribed (accessible) Titles Usage FTE Research/Science focus & budget –As a Society and Publisher, equitable treatment of our customers is a core value ACS strategy for the electronic world – changing business models 13 ACS Proprietary & Confidential

ACS Develops a Modern Pricing Plan (cont.) Project begins in 2006 to evolve ACS pricing –Included interviews with 50+ customers –Worked with 3 rd party consultant –Vetted through the ACS Library Advisory Board & approved through ACS Governance “Guiding Principles” –Re-establish Fairness & Equitability –Encourage Participation and Use –Broaden Access –Minimizing Disruption ACS strategy for the electronic world – changing business models 14 ACS Proprietary & Confidential

ACS Value-Based Pricing Model International Academic Market Primary Metric: –World Bank Index (High, Upper Middle, Lower Middle, Low) Secondary Metrics: –Full-time enrollment –Usage bands (COUNTER compliant full-text downloads) Consortia Discounts –All titles – 60% Discount First released in 2008 –3-5 Year Migration plans offered to assist in managed transition 15 ACS Proprietary & Confidential International Tiers AB

Challenges & Trade-offs Sub-tiers based on FTE and Usage provide more detailed equitability levels Equitability at the institution level has not been achieved Changes in consortial allocations are seen as ACS pricing changes 16 Changes in FTE and Usage can unpredictably create substantial price changes Changes can create price fluctuations up and down that do not align with library budget realities Customers walk away from discount when they choose to trade content for cost New titles contribute to increased costs ACS VBPM works better for some types of institutions than others ACS provides maximum benefit for subscribers to all content Librarian feedback sets usage as a secondary pricing metric ACS allows consortia to set member prices ACS Proprietary & Confidential

ACS VBPM Driven –Impact of “Starting Point” vs. Migration Plan –Addition of New Journals –Change in Account Tier and Sub-Tier –Changes in Journal Price Weighting –Changes in Print Selection and Pricing –Changes in Supplementary Products/Programs Market Driven –Long term Consortia Contracts –Changes in Consortia Membership and Allocation Policy –Impact of Incentive Programs –Print to Digital switching costs (VAT) 17 Why Is My Price Increase More/Less than 5%? ACS Proprietary & Confidential

ACS Publications & VBPM: What We’ve Achieved – 5 Years After Decoupled digital price model from print legacy –Ended duplicate subscription practices –Accelerated transition to all digital environment Increased Library ROI –More content, enhanced discoverability, increased access, greater usage than ever Increased Community impact –More Scientists than ever submitting research to ACS for Publication –Significant expansion of subscribed content: more libraries with greater range of journals High degree of market acceptance Retained high quality – high impact reputation Increased value to all stakeholders 18 ACS Proprietary & Confidential

Where Will ACS VBP Go from Here? ACS continues to implement VBP. Most customers are either currently “on model”, or are under an agreed-upon migration plan –Increased customer interactions provide data on “pain points” with VBP –ACS will review data and feedback and will make appropriate adjustments to VBP over time –Migrating consortia who reach their VBP fee early will transition to VBP and see standard fee adjustments In 2011 ACS standardizes pricing for Archives lease & C&EN Online. –In advance of new product offering – C&EN Archives, Symposium Series Archives, lease options for both –Now that standardization has been established, standard annual adjustments and bundled discount opportunities will apply 19 ACS Proprietary & Confidential

American Chemical Society ACS responds to market demands 20ACS Proprietary & Confidential

How Has ACS Responded to ICOLC? 2009 & 2010 Letter Limited annual increase to 5% Introduced Early Decision incentive/discount Implemented multiyear payment plans and bundle discounts for one time sales Increased interaction with community –(Sales/Service Infrastructure, Library Summits, ACSOC) In 2011, introduced 1-year forbearance option for new journal adoption 21 ACS Proprietary & Confidential
