Please ensure IP address ranges for all sites are included to ensure access.

What options are there for institutional subscriptions?
We have Print and Online (institutional) and Online only (institutional and personal). Print orders are temporarily suspended as we deal with the aftermath of our journals distributor Turpin going into administration in October. To register interest for print subscriptions please email journalsubscriptions@intellectbooks.com and we will email you once they become available. For further information, go to our subscriptions page.
Do you have subject area collections available?
Yes, we have set journal packages in our main subject areas, as well as a Full Journals Collection, all of which offer considerable discounts compared to buying journals separately. Alternatively, you can design your own Tailored Collection if you are planning to subscribe to seven or more journals. Collections provide complete back-issue access for as long as the current subscription year is maintained. Go to our Collections page.
How do I order a subscription?
Links to ordering can be found on each individual journal’s webpage. You can order directly via Intellect Discover or your usual subscription agent. If you have a discount code, please ensure your agent has this when they place the order for you.
Is access to subscribed volumes perpetual? What happens to our access if we don’t renew our subscription?
Access to any subscribed volumes is perpetual. You will always retain access to any volumes you have paid for, even if you don’t renew your subscription for following volumes. This also applies if you have purchased an archive collection. If you have been granted free back-volume access as part of a collection, you will retain back-volume access for as long as the current subscription year is maintained. If you decide not to renew the collection, you will retain access to any previously subscribed volumes and back volumes (including the volumes for which you held the collection) but will lose access to unsubscribed back volumes. This also applies if you retain subscriptions to some of the journals in the collection, but don’t renew the collection as a whole.
Example: our institution subscribes to four journals between 2015 and 2017. We then add three new journals and subscribe to these as a Tailored Collection of seven journals in 2018. With the collection, we receive full archive access to all journals in the collection. In 2019, we cancel the collection but continue subscribing to the original four journals.
In this case your institution would retain permanent access to all seven journals for the 2018 volume, as well as access to the 2015–2018 volumes for the four journals. You would lose all other access outside of these volumes. Your ongoing 2019 subscriptions would continue as normal.
How can we get access to past volumes of a journal?
There are several ways you can get access:
1. If you subscribe to a Full Journals, Subject or Tailored Collection of seven or more journals, access to back volumes is included, free of charge, for as long as the current subscription year is maintained. Go to our Collections page for more information.
1. If you subscribe to a Full Journals, Subject or Tailored Collection of seven or more journals, access to back volumes is included, free of charge, for as long as the current subscription year is maintained. Go to our Collections page for more information.
2. You can purchase perpetual access to back volumes for a one-off fee. Please see journal pages on Intellect Discover to purchase directly. If you are purchasing the full archive, and there are seven or more back volumes of the journal, you should also be eligible for an archive discount of 20% or more. Please contact us on journalsubscriptions@intellectbooks.com for more information. Note: Online only subscriptions are available for any volume, but only the most recent three volumes are available as a Print and Online subscription.
3. For print volumes and print issues older than the most recent three volumes, please contact Periodicals Service Company, 351 Fairview Avenue - Ste 300, Hudson, NY 12534, USA. T: 518 822 9300 E: psc@periodicals.com W: www.periodicals.com.
Where can I find pricing information for your journals?
Prices for the current volume, including for single issues, are listed under the ‘Purchase’ section of each journal’s home page. For back volume prices please navigate to the required volume on Intellect Discover and purchase directly. Alternatively, check our Intellect journals catalogue. You can also download a complete current year's pricelist here.
Do I have to pay for shipping?
For institutional subscriptions with a print component, postage is included for UK, US and Canadian customers for the 2023 volume.

For Rest of Americas, please add $10 postage per volume for 1-2 issue journals and $12 per volume for 3-4 issue journals.

Do you support EZproxy?
Yes, sites using EZproxy are able to gain institutional access to subscribed content.
Is online access valid for multiple sites and users?
Yes. Online access is multi-user, provided all users are members of the subscribing institution. Online access covers all sites, provided they are managed under one central administration, and are within one country.
Who are authorized users?
Authorized users include your institution's currently enrolled students, and all current staff including emeritus and current affiliated and visiting researchers, as well as other users granted access to the acquiring institution's network. Alumni are not considered as authorized users. However, if you have a specific request for access, please contact us at journalsubsciptions@intellectbooks.com.

Is access allowed for sites in more than one country?
Yes. Please contact us, providing details of FTEs, if access is needed in more than one country. We may need to charge an extra fee to provide access to sites in more than one country.
Can we use SERU in place of a licence?
Yes. Instead of separate licence agreements, all Intellect journal sales follow the SERU Guidelines published on the NISO SERU website.
How do we download usage statistics for the journals we subscribe to?
Please see here.
Do you allow use of electronic versions of content in e-learning platforms and online course packs?
Yes, provided all users are current students/staff at the subscribing institution, and the PDFs are only stored for the duration of the course.
Is distance use education allowed?
Yes, provided users are current students/staff at the subscribing institution.
Do you allow interlibrary loans?
Institutions with a Print subscription of a journal or a print copy of a book may share these via interlibrary loan. Institutions with an Online only subscription of any Intellect copyright material are permitted to send a printed copy (not electronic) of up to one article per journal subscribed to for ILL. Please note: sites within the subscribing institution will be able to access subscribed material electronically through their institution’s subscription, provided all sites are administered under one central administration and are within one country.
Can we access individual articles without subscribing to a journal?
Yes. Institutions can access individual articles to journals either via pay-per-view from Intellect Discover, via Copyright Clearance Center's Get It Now service, or from the British Library's Document Supply Service.
Do you have digital preservation arrangements in place, such as LOCKSS?
Intellect utilizes LOCKSS, which allows libraries to preserve access to subscribed content. Further information is available at https://www.lockss.org/.
Do you allow authors to put their articles in a repository?
Yes, authors can upload a copy of the accepted version of their article to an institutional or subject repository. Access must be restricted for a twelve-month embargo period after publication, to agree with our Green Open Access policy. The accepted version can incorporate changes made during peer review, but is not the copyedited or PDF version. Go to our Open Access page and Licence and Usage Policy page.
Do you allow photocopying?
Yes, photocopying for internal or personal use is allowed for users registered with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) in the United Kingdom, or the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) in the United States. The base fee must be paid directly to the relevant organization.

No, alumni access is not usually allowed. However, if you have a specific request for access, please contact us at journalsubsciptions@intellectbooks.com.

Do you provide free access to institutions in developing countries?
Yes. Intellect works in partnership with Research4Life to allow institutions in developing countries free online access to our Full Journals Collection. See our Subscribe to Our Journals page for more information.
Do your journals comply with the REF2021 OA Policy?
Yes. Our standard Green Open Access policy is REF compliant, as authors are able to deposit the accepted version of their work to a repository and set an embargo date of twelve months after the publication date. This restricts access until after the embargo period ends and is allowed under REF policy. Authors may also comply by opting for Gold Open Access with Intellect. To check the compatibility of any Intellect journal, consult the SHERPA/REF tool. Go to our Open Access page.
We will be adding resources for librarians in due course. Please watch this space!
