Institutional Subscriptions

[ORDERING & COST] [Frequently Asked Questions] [Terms and Conditions]

Online Institutional Subscribers to Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell have access to tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full-text display, PDFs, links to Medline and gene databases, e-mail table of contents alerting, and interjournal links to other HighWire Press journals. Access is limited to authorized users of an institutional subscription and does not require user names or passwords.

For the most part, an Institutional Online Subscription authorizes use at a localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site. For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of Upjohn Laboratories is considered a different site. See Institutional FAQs for more information. Contact scholwek{at}aspb.org for information about multi-site licenses.

An online subscription permits unlimited simultaneous Internet access to ASPB's online journals by authorized users through the use of the institution's IP address. A range of addresses (e.g., 123.456.*.*, 123.456.7-9.*.*) or a list of IP addresses describing the subscriber's site may be provided. Any authorized user connecting through your institutional network from a remote location will be allowed access to Plant Physiology Online and The Plant Cell Online.
