1. My institution has a subscription to J Orthod, and access to J Orthod Online, but I'm not able to see the full text of articles. I'm prompted for a username and password. Why is this happening?

   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:

   Your institutional subscription has not yet been activated

   The person who "activated" the online subscription did not enter in all needed IP addresses for your institution

   The person who "activated" the online subscription does not realize that some subnets of your institution are routed through a proxy server

   What should I do?

   1. Send us Feedback so we can begin to diagnose the problem.
   2. Talk to your librarian, and let them know you are having trouble.

2. My library subscribes to the paper J Orthod, and I can't get access to it online. Why?

   Your institution has not yet activated its institutional subscription to J Orthod Online. All subscribers to the paper journal also receive access to the online journal. Notify your library that you would like access to J Orthod Online, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.

3. Who from my institution can access J Orthod Online?

   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 J Orthod Online.

4. What is an Institution?

   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.

5. How will this work?

   When someone attempts to use J Orthod 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 J Orthod Online simultaneously.

   If readers want to access J Orthod 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.

6. What subscription packages are available?

   Tables of contents, abstracts, full text searching, full text display, document delivery, PDFs, Medline and GenBank links, and the advantage of having password access to J Orthod Online from any computer connected to the Internet.

   Individual (Non-Member) Subscribers have access to:

7. How can I tell if my institution has subscribed to J Orthod Online

   If your institution has a subscription, you'll automatically have access to the tables of contents, abstracts, full-text searching, full text display, Medline and GenBank links, and PDFs. You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

8. Can my institution subscribe only to the electronic version?

   No, at the present time, the electronic version is provided to subscribers of the paper version of J Orthod Online as an added benefit.

9. Will we still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?

   Yes, institutions and individuals will be able to receive the paper version for the foreseeable future. At some time, the Society and Publisher might decide to allow separate subscriptions for the electronic and paper versions.

10. If our J Orthod Online subscription expires and at some later date we reinstate our subscription, will we have access to all years of the electronic version?

    Yes, when you buy a subscription to J Orthod Online, you have access to all years of the database.

11. How can I access the J Orthod Online if I am not a BOS member and I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

    You may purchase the J Orthod Online as an Individual (Non-Member) subscriber or you may wish to apply for a subscription or membership of the British Orthodontic Society. Without a subscription you have access to the Table of Contents, abstracts, and full text searching (but not full text viewing) at no cost and without having to register.
