Do publishers offer any free services?
Yes, a number of publishers offer free services to increase the visibility and readership of their titles. For example, publishers may display the table of contents of recent issues, provide free sample issues, or provide email notices when new issues are published. Subscriptions to some publications are available free. Examples include some electronic-only titles produced by non-profit organizations, or trade publications which are supported entirely by advertising revenues. Sometimes the electronic version of a print title is not available for purchase separately but is provided “free” with a paid subscription to the paper journal. PubList.com reports whatever the publisher has determined. What is free or not free is determined solely by the publisher.
