Production Example
DOCUMENTA never was money-sponsored from funding agencies or from elsewhere.
In the contrary, the money went the other way around:
1998:
Production of ICM'98 Proceedings
as an Extra Vol. of DOCUMENTA
ICM'98 = International Congress of Mathematicians (Berlin)
Offer by Congress Organizers for production up to:
50000 DM =
25000 €
Actually used:
2500 DM =
1250 €
Transferred back to Organizers (DMV) from sellings:
13000 DM =
6500 €
Savings/Earnings:
60500 DM =
30250 €
The money was used to contribute to found a new science prize ("
Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize
").
Certainly this is a much better use for earnings from scientific publications than giving it to commercial science publishers.
