Frequently Asked Questions about Member Subscriptions

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

   If your institution has a print subscription, it will be eligible to have an electronic version of the journal as well. In so doing, you will automatically have access to the Tables of Contents, Abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, PDFs, Medline and GenBank links, and future Tables of Contents. You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

   If your institution does not have a print subscription, it cannot get an electronic version of The American Journal of Pathology. If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please contact your local librarian.

4. Will I still be able to get the print version? And for how long?

   Yes, individuals and institutions will continue to be able to receive the print version for the foreseeable future. At some time, the print and electronic versions may be available as separate subscriptions.

5. Who is eligible for a Member Subscription?

   ASIP Members are eligible for Member Subscriptions to Am J Pathol, providing them with a print and electronic version of the journal. Members may also have access to Am J Pathol Online through an Institutional Subscription. Institutional Subscriptions are somewhat more limited than Member Subscriptions. The special member services are not available to non-member subscribers, and full-text access from of the institution's network (e.g. home access) is not available.

6. How can I access the Am J Pathol Online if I am not an ASIP member and I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

   You may wish to apply for ASIP membership or you may wish to purchase an Individual (Non-Member) print subscription which provides access to the electronic version. 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.

7. How do I become a member of ASIP?

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