1. Will I receive a password? May I share my password with friends, or is use limited solely to me?

   Yes, when you go through the activation process, you will set 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.

3. Why should I get a member subscription to RCP Journals Online?

   Member Subscribers have access to:

   Tables of contents, abstracts, full text searching, full text display, document delivery, PDFs, links to Medline and GenBank, future tables of contents, interjournal links to other HighWire Press journals, and the advantage of having password access to RCP Journals Online from any computer connected to the Internet.
   [Ordering Procedure] [Cost] [ RCP Membership ]

   Without a subscription you have access to Tables of contents, abstracts, and full text searching at no cost and without having to register.

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

   If your institution has a paper 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 paper subscription, it cannot get an electronic version of The Royal College of Psychiatrists. If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please contact your local librarian.

5. Will I still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?

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

6. Who is eligible for a Member Subscription?

   RCP Members are eligible for Member Subscriptions to RCP Journals, providing them with a paper and electronic version of the journal. Members may also have access to RCP Online through an Institutional Subscription.

7. How can I access the RCP Journals Online if I am not an RCP member and I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

   You may wish to apply for RCP 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.

8. How do I become a member of RCP?

   Information about RCP Membership is available from the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
