***) Historical Note: Price quotes given by the Nature Publishing Group for site licenses for Nature Weekly (not the monthlies and Reviews) reportedly more than doubled (?) in March (?) 2001. Since the revised pricing scheme became moot with the announcement of the new global institutional site licensing policy and corresponding changes in pricing on Apr 23, we have given up attempts to get more information on that interim pricing policy.
