Sep 17, 2015 at 23:27 comment added Kim Morrison Mod MathOverflow actually has a complicated independent identity (we're a registered non-profit in the US). I suspect @StefanKohl is thinking about our (infinitesimal) revenue.
Sep 17, 2015 at 23:26 comment added Josh to follow up. From the website: "*Notes on definition of "Total Publishing Revenue": Total publishing revenue includes all publishing revenue from all the divisions of an organization (primary and secondary) for all types of activities (advertising, books, journals, databases, article charges, etc). For membership organizations, member dues allocated to subscriptions will be included in total publishing revenue." - See more at: crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html#background"
Sep 17, 2015 at 23:22 comment added Josh @StefanKohl Thanks, but I don't think that is correct. The revenues refer to the parent company (Stack Exchange). I'm not sure what SE makes per year in revenue but based on how big their office is and where it is, it is probably at the high end of the spectrum for CrossRef and Portico.
Sep 17, 2015 at 19:11 comment added Stefan Kohl Mod @Josh: Please read the webpages you link to! -- The fee for assigning DOI's would not be 50000 dollars per year, but just something like 275 -- and the fee for archiving would not be 81960 dollars per year, but just something like 250. -- Or do you suppose MathOverflow's annual total publishing revenue would be more than 500000000, respectively, more than 200000000 dollars??
Sep 17, 2015 at 18:25 comment added Josh Great points! We are only here to help. If Stack Exchange assigns DOIs themselves, that is great! However, it seems unlikely as they will need to first get an ISSN, then pay 50,000 a year to assign DOIs (crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html) and 81,960 for archival (portico.org/digital-preservation/join-portico/for-publishers). We are offering this free of service to the community as it fits our ethos and mission to publish "grey literature." We'd only implement a system after feedback from the community. Just as we are doing now.
