Pricing and Discounts
Our Collections are sold at discounts starting at 30% discount off the regular prices of the core eBooks and core journal in a collection. Additional discounts are available to institutions interested in more than one collection rising to 55% on purchases of the Complete Collection. Prices are adjusted for institutions that have already purchased any of the core eBooks in the collection or that already subscribe to the core journal/s in a collection.

Hybrid Model
eBooks are sold as outright purchase with unlimited simultaneous use with the exception of textbooks. These are subject to discounted renewal payments for 2 years after initial purchase after which they are owned outright. After the 3rd year, textbooks revert to single-use only but can be upgraded at any time to unlimited simultaneous use for a small upgrade fee (£75/$100) per year.
Core journals are sold on an annual subscription basis. Supplemental chapters and articles are supplied as part of the core journal subscription and access ceases if the core journal subscription is cancelled. After cancellation of a subscription, an institution retains perpetual access to the content previously paid for but not to the supplemental material.
