“To our dismay and anger, a few international STM publishers, using their monopolistic position, recently demand to raise the subscription prices for their full-text database at a yearly rate of more than 14% for the next 3 years, despite of the fact that their prices have already had a yearly increase of more than 10% in the last contract period. Those publishers claimed that they aim to raise the Chinese users’ cost per article to that of most developed countries in Europe and America in 2020, completely ignoring the fact that China is still a developing country with GDP per capita and investment in research and education per capita still far below the average level of developed countries. ”
