Reproduced from Outsell's Market Intelligence Service Report: STM End-User Survey Part 1 - Scientists and Engineers http://www.outsellinc.com/all_segments/products/838, courtesy of Outsell Inc. "With an increasing number of free information sources available on the web, and users increasingly turning to the web for information, we examined users' perceptions of "free". We asked if the statement "Provides higher quality information" applied more to fee-based information services or free information services from the open internet."
