Subscription model

An annual subscription purchases access to the new subscriber content scheduled for publication in that subscription year. Access to the new subscriber content of that subscription year is secured forward until the 3rd quarter of the 5th year of publication when the subscriber content is released from behind the subscription barrier to become freely accessible to all users. In that way, access to purchased subscriber content is permanent.

A new annual subscription must be purchased in the following year for access to the following year's new subscriber content.

The annual subscription does not provide access to content belonging to the previous 4 years, unless that content was previously purchased. 

The journals are published online only (print editions ceased at the end of the 2022 subscription year). For further information on online access, please see Terms of Use.

The 4 subscription journals (MEPS, AME, DAO, CR) are transformative hybrid journals. See Transformative Journals in the "For Authors" section.
