1. Will I receive a password? May I share my password with friends, or is use limited solely to me?

   Yes, when you complete the subscription process, you will receive a user name and a password. You are the only one licensed to use this password.

2. What if I forget my password?

   We have instructions for what to do if you forget your user name or your password. Details about how to do this will be included as part of the subscription process.

3. Why should I get a member subscription to American Journal of Botany Online?

   Member Subscribers have access to:

   Tables of contents, abstracts, full text searching, full text display, document delivery, PDFs, links to Medline and GenBank, future tables of contents, interjournal links to other HighWire Press journals, and the advantage of having password access to American Journal of Botany Online from any computer connected to the Internet.
   [Ordering Procedure] [Cost] [ BSA Membership ]

   Without a subscription you have access to Tables of contents, abstracts, and full text searching at no cost and without having to register.

4. How can I tell if my institution has subscribed? How do I get my institution to subscribe?

   If you can access full text pages and your institutional name appears in the upper left corner, your institution has subscribed to the Journal. You should be able to access the journal through any computer connected to the institutional network. (Thus, home access through AOL or other commercial ISPs may not work.)

   If access is not provided from the institutional network, contact your librarian to find out if your institution subscribes. Perhaps your institution has opted not to receive the online journal, or the subscription has not been activated.

   Even if your institution does not subscribe to the online version, it may still retain a paper subscription, as these are sold separately.

   If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please contact your local librarian.

5. Will I still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?

   Yes, individuals and institutions will continue to be able to receive the paper version for the foreseeable future. The Botanical Society of America is strongly committed to continuing to publish the print AND online versions of the American Journal of Botany.

6. Who is eligible for a Member Subscription?

   BSA Members have access to the online journal as part of their membership and are eligible for member discounts for print subscriptions. Members may also access the American Journal of Botany Online through an Institutional Subscription. Institutional Subscriptions are somewhat more limited than Member Subscriptions because access is provided only through the institutional network.

   Individual Members may log in from any computer connected to the Internet using their password and may have services that are available only to individuals, such as CiteTrack.

7. How can I access the American Journal of Botany Online if I am not an BSA member and I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

   A number of options still exist. Individual articles may be purchased on a pay-per-view basis. The article may be accessed for a limited period of time, but is also licensed for storage on user's computer media as well. Site passes provide limited access to all content for a limited duration. These options may be useful and economical for sporadic visitors to the site.

   The most economical alternative may be to join the Botanical Society of America. There are a number of categories of membership available and all have access to the American Journal of Botany Online as part of membership. For more information about membership, visit the BSA web site.

   Even without a subscription, you have access to tables of contents, abstracts, and full text searching (without full text viewing) at no cost and without having to register.

8. How do I become a member of BSA?

   Information about BSA Membership and application forms are available from the BSA.
