How do I register a journal subscription (as a reader)?

To register as a reader and be able to subscribe to one or more journal published by Inderscience, click here to go to Readers' Registration.

Please note that our secure website uses 'HTTPS' instead of the usual http. On this registration page, you choose your own username and password, enter your first name, last name and email address. Once you've done that, just click 'Sign up'; you'll then proceed to your own account page. From there, you may update your profile, change your password or proceed to the subscription page.

Subscribing to a journal or to multiple journals involves 5 simple steps :

Step 1: Start Subscription page: Select your preferred journal(s)

Step 2: Subscriber details: Enter your contact details

Accessing online journals via IP address authentication:

Let us know your IP address range if you would like to access your journal subscription online and via IP address authentication (i.e. instead of via a username and password). Tell us the number of online simultaneous users accessing this subscription.

Step 4: Payment: How do you wish to pay? By credit card, invoice, direct bank transfer, etc.?

Note! Our website encrypts all of your personal information including credit card number, name and address. The encryption process takes the characters you enter and converts them into bits of code that are then securely transmitted over the Internet.

Step 5: Confirmation: click 'Confirm subscription' and you'll begin your access shortly.

Just follow these steps on the screen, complete the required information on each page and on the final step, i.e. step 5, click "Confirm subscription" and an invoice will be sent both to our Department of Publications and to yourself. Once the subscription order has been processed successfully, an email will be sent to notify you. You may also login to your account any time to check your order status.

Points to note!

Our web server immediately sends your order number and some basic information by email to our Department of Publications.
Your order details are kept only on our server, and are viewed by our Department of Publications (over an SSL connection) when we are ready to process your order.
Your order will be processed manually. We will contact you via phone and/or e-mail if we have any problem processing your order.
Once your order has been processed, our Department of Publications will send you the article that you have requested.
