Journal subscription costs - FOIs to UK universities

This dataset contains the amount of money paid by UK higher education institutions to seven major publishers (Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, Taylor & Francis, Sage, Oxford University Press, and Cambridge University Press) for academic journals from 2010-14. The data was obtained by sending FOI requests to each institution through the website whatdotheyknow.com These are seven of the largest academic publishers but do not represent the total spend of these institutions on academic journals.
