Subscription Rates

All prices are subject to change without prior notice. Existing subscribers will be notified in such an event. Prices are exclusive of VAT, and include shipping and handling.

Early Adopter Pricing

Institutions committing to renew or upgrade subscriptions before 31st January 2024 will receive a lower price, while subscriptions received after 31st January will be billed at full rate. These pricing bands will be applied to all of our journals, including our journal packages. 

We have chosen to introduce this pricing system because, while we are limited in our options regarding price rises this year, we would like to thank those subscribers who show clear support for our publishing and open access programme with this reward initiative. Our standard payment terms apply, but if you would like to commit and are concerned about payment please contact subscriptions@ems.press to discuss how we can best facilitate you. 

We have also opted to increase the price of our print subscriptions at a higher rate than that of our digital subscriptions this year. While we will keep offering our print programme for those who need it, we have to cover drastically increased printing and shipping costs, and feel that as an organisation we must promote positive change for the sake of our environment. We have therefore implemented a “green tax” on our printed journal subscriptions.

Please contact info@ems.press if you have any questions about our new policies.

New Subscriptions/Renewals

Subscriptions run per calendar year, and will automatically renew unless otherwise specified.

Digital subscriptions are provided via IP authentication. Print subscriptions also include digital access. Please refer to our terms of digital access for license information.

Please contact subscriptions@ems.press for all subscription enquiries and orders. Orders can also be placed with your usual bookseller or subscriptions agent.

Please note that Brazil and France are covered by country-wide consortial agreements. Specific order information is available for China and India.

Cancellation policy

Digital

Subscribers have the right to cancel within 14 days of access being granted for a full refund. If the cancellation occurs within the first 14 days of a new subscription (not a renewal), all content access will be revoked. 

Cancellations requested after the initial 14 day period are not eligible for refund. Content will be provided until the end of the subscription period. Access to any content covered by the subscription will be maintained in perpetuity.

Print

Subscribers have the right to cancel within 14 days of dispatch of the first issue for a full refund. Cancellations requested after this time will be refunded on a prorated basis.

In the case that digital content has been accessed, we reserve the right to revert to our digital cancellation policy and refund only the difference between a print and digital subscription.
