Purchasing a subscription or paper
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. offers print-and-online, print only, and online only journal subscriptions. To subscribe, click "Publications" in the masthead of the website and select the option that best suits your browsing preferences.
We also offer the sale of individual papers at a price. To purchase a paper, locate the paper of interest and click "For printing" or "With links" and click "purchase this paper." Follow the on-screen instructions to gain immediate access.
Purchased papers are available for download for a period of 24 hours. If you are having difficulty downloading a purchased paper, please contact us. We recommend immediately saving any purchased papers to your hard drive for later use.
Viewing and printing PDFs
Adobe Acrobat version 5.0 or higher is required to view full text PDFs. Adobe Acrobat is available as a free download for PC and Mac computers, and we encourage you to always download the latest version.
We offer two different versions of most papers. "For printing" PDFs are of higher resolution and are best for making high quality prints of graphics. "With links" PDFs are of lower resolution and contain hyperlinks to references; they can also be printed.
To view a paper, click "For printing" or "With links" on any Table of Contents, abstract, or Search Results page. A PDF of the paper will open. From here you can print or save the paper.
Some web browsers may open Adobe Acrobat within the browser window itself (this is especially common with Internet Explorer). If this happens, be sure to use the Print and Save buttons within the Acrobat application (the lower of the two menu bars).
