Pricing

What is my institution’s price based on?

Pricing for the collection is based on the electronic-only subscription rate of titles without current content on Project Muse and is discounted at least 33%, depending on an institution’s 2005 Carnegie Classification.

How has the pricing model changed from 2007 to 2008?

The pricing model has been updated from 2007. We are now using the 2005 Carnegie Classifications rather than the 2000 Carnegie Classifications to separate institutions into tiers. Some institutions’ classifications have changed, and their 2008 price may increase or decrease according to the new classification.

Ordering Information

Can my institution order the e-Duke Scholarly Collection through a subscription agent?

Yes. Subscription agents have been alerted to the pricing model and will be glad to assist librarians in processing an order.

How do I order?

To place a new or renewal order for the e-Duke Scholarly Collection, contact Duke University Press by e-mail at edukecollection@dukeupress.edu, by fax at 919-688-2615, or by phone at 919-688-5134.

[Back to top]

What if my institution also wants to order print titles with the collection?

Subscribers to the e-Duke Scholarly Collection may add or continue print subscriptions for any of the journals in the collection at rates steeply discounted from the ordinary print subscription prices. (Discounts are available to subscribers only for the years that they are collection subscribers.)

Discounts on print titles in the collection are based on tier and range from 60% to 80%. More information on the print add-on option may be found here.

[Back to top]

How does my institution get the print discount?

Institutions must have a current subscription to the e-Duke Scholarly Collection to receive the print discount off individual title subscriptions. If your institution is ordering through a subscription agent, have the subscription agent verify pricing through Duke University Press before submitting payment. Duke University Press will be providing subscription agents with a list of current package subscribers. Institutions may also subscribe to both the collection and any print add-ons through a subscription agent.

[Back to top]

Will institutions get an acknowledgment once payment is processed?

Yes. An e-mail acknowledgment with activation instructions will be sent once payment is processed.

[Back to top]

Why must the price be confirmed with Duke University Press before payment is submitted?

To ensure timely access to the e-Duke Scholarly Collection, Duke University Press asks that institutions, consortia, and subscription agents confirm pricing before submitting payment because the new pricing model is more complicated than the print model of pricing. Pricing may be confirmed with a Duke University Press representative by contacting Journals Customer Service. Incorrect payments will be returned without processing.
