For institutions, the terms and conditions are set out in our document entitled "E-Journal Guidelines for Institutional Access".
For individual users, the terms and conditions are given in our page entitled "User Terms and Conditions of Use".
When this happens, the IP address for your machine is not being recognized by our computer. This failure is caused by one of three things:
What should I do?
Your institution either has chosen NOT to subscribe to the American Journal of Botany Online or has not yet activated its institutional subscription. Notify your library if you would like access to the American Journal of Botany Online, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.
The subscription fee allows for unrestricted Internet access at one location. Any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional network will be allowed access to American Journal of Botany Online.
For the most part, an Institutional 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.
When someone attempts to use American Journal of Botany Online, our server checks to see if the requesting computer is within the list of internet IP address provided by a subscribing institution. If it is, the reader will be able to use all those services enabled for institutional readers. For institutional subscribers, there are no usernames or passwords to remember, and there is currently no limit on the number of readers from your institution who may access American Journal of Botany Online simultaneously.
If readers want to access American Journal of Botany Online from computers that are not part of your institutional network (e.g., through dial-in or telnet through a commercial Internet service provider) they can do so only through a member subscription.
If your institution has a subscription, you'll 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 has not subscribed, or if you wish to take advantage of the additional services available to member subscribers, you can choose to access American Journal of Botany Online with a member subscription.
Yes, the electronic version is now provided separately from the paper version.
Yes, institutions and individuals will be able to receive the paper version for the foreseeable future. The Botanical Society of America is committed to continuing to publish both the paper AND electronic versions of the American Journal of Botany.
Yes, when you buy a subscription to American Journal of Botany Online, you have access to all years of the database. (Back issues of the print journal are available through the BSA Business Office. Contact them for cost and availability.)
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.
Information about BSA Membership and application forms are available from the BSA.
