For the most part, an Institutional Online 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.
Individuals who are not subscribers can
choose to access AHA Journals Online with a member or individual (non-member) subscription.
AHA Journals Online Policies and Procedures for Institutional Subscriptions
- AHA Journals online subscriptions are available via Ovid Technologies. With your institution's Ovid online subscription, you may access your AHA Journals through both the Ovid and HighWire platforms. In order to activate your HighWire access, your library subscription administrator will need to have your institution's Ovid Customer Number, which is typically provided by your Ovid Sales Rep. For more information and to request pricing information, or your Ovid Customer Number, please contact the Regional Ovid Sales office closest to you.
- AHA Journal print subscriptions and AHA journal online subscriptions are separate and independent. Online subscriptions may or may not show the same start date or the same expiration date. Adjustments due to missed print issues, previous orders or other matters may cause the expiration dates to diverge even when the subscriptions commenced at the same time.
- AHA Journal Online subscriptions allow access over the course of a period of 52 weeks (a one year subscription) to the full text and graphics of all issues published on the Web. There is no physical or online archive provided with this subscription. Online subscribers are encouraged to purchase a print subscription for archiving purposes until a standard for online archiving has been established.
- After the order has been processed by Ovid, the library subscription administrator must activate the online subscription with your Ovid Customer Number. The librarian will select a user name and password (for administrative purposes only), and list the IP addresses for the institution.
- Please allow up to three weeks for order processing if not ordering directly through Ovid. More time may be necessary during the peak period from December - February. The librarian will be notified by mail or e-mail when the subscription is ready for activation. Librarians with a print subscription to an AHA journal may try to activate at any time after ordering by entering their AHA customer account number as instructed. The activation will be successful only after the order has been processed.
