Preston McAfee and I maintain a website http://www.journalprices.com/ that attempts to do something along these lines. We classify journals in each field as "good values" , "intermediate values" and "bad values" by comparing an index based on price per article and price per citation with the median value of this index for non-profit journals in the same field. We encourage scholars to consider these indexes when deciding where to submit papers and whether to offer free refereeing services to a journal.
We have recently posted an updated version with 2011 prices and 2010 citation and article counts. On 6/20/12 9:29 AM, R.
