Due to rising publication costs, a 5% annual increase has been applied for annual payments.

If you would like to prepay your entire 3 year subscription, please let us know. The 3 year prepayment option benefits from a fixed annual price – there is a single initial 5% rise in January 2024 but beyond that no year-on-year annual price increase is factored in for the term of the membership. 

Invoices for Europe are handled by the Press, and Rest of World institutions are processed via Lyrasis, a trusted non-profit library sector partner based in the USA. Lyrasis will process the invoices in USD, using the exchange rate valid on the day of order. Invoices for the UK are handled by Jisc. Access to titles will be provided within one month of payment.
