What makes a site license different from an online only or print + online order?
A site license is the consolidation of all orders into one order for the year, or an order for one of our collections, or a custom plan of Annual Reviews. A multi-location site license is also necessary when access is going to be provided to multiple locations.
Do customers need to sign a site license agreement for their online or print + online orders?
We do not require a signed agreement if the customer is ordering print + online or online only orders. We only require this when an order for a site license is placed, or when the customer is going to provide access at multiple locations.

Customers should activate their own accounts. They are required to set up a user name/password for the account administrator on their campus.
Is access based on a calendar year?
As of 1/1/2008, an online subscription is no longer limited to 12 months of online access. Subscriptions including online access entitle the institution to permanent data rights to that purchased volume content, regardless of future subscription status. Please see our publication schedule for the expected online publication date of each Annual Reviews journal.
Do you offer discounts to consortia?
Yes. Please contact Andrea Lopez, alopez@annualreviews.org regarding consortia licensing.
