Activating Access to the Journal Online-Versions
'Activation' is the process whereby
you identify yourself to the online-journals system. The process is
slightly different if you are a member of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists, an Individual (non-member) Subscriber or an
Institutional Subscriber. Please choose from the following for
appropriate activation instructions:
RCPsych members Activation Instructions
You will need your membership number
for the activation process.
- Go to http://www.rcpsych.org/cgi/activate/basic?ORIGJOURNAL=bjp
- Enter your College membership number
in the box asking for your 'customer number' and click the ‘Submit’
button.
- Complete the online form giving your
email address and setting a username and password for future
access.
After you have completed this
process you will receive an email confirmation. You will then be
able to access the full text content of the
BJPsych, The Psychiatrist and
Advances using your username and password (set during
activation) to 'sign-in'.
Once RCPsych members have activated
their online access to BJPsych, they will automatically
also be able to access The Psychiatrist and
Advances online.
Individual Subscriber Activation Instructions
You will need to know your
customer number (a six digit number prefixed by the letter "C").
This should be shown on the address sheet of paper accompanying
your journal(s).
- Go to http://www.rcpsych.org/cgi/activate/basic?ORIGJOURNAL=bjp
- Enter your Customer number in the box
and click the ‘Submit’ button.
- Complete the online form giving your
email address and setting a username and password for future
access.
After you have completed this
process you will receive an email confirmation. You will then be
able to access the full text content of the journal to which you
have subscribed, using your username and password (set during
activation) to 'sign-in'.
Institutional Subscriber Activation Instructions
Institutional subscriptions should
only be activated by the Institution's account administrator.
Before activating your subscription please make sure you know your
customer number (6-digit number prefixed by 'C') and the IP
addresses for your institution. (An IP address is the unique
numeric address of a computer connected to the internet.)
- To activate your institutional
subscription go to: http://www.rcpsych.org/cgi/activate/ibasic?ORIGJOURNAL=bjp
and enter your customer number.
- As account administrator you will
need to provide your contact information (name, title, institution
name, email address and telephone contact).
- The second phase requires that you
enter the IP number(s) of all the institution's workstations that
should have access to the journals. (Institutional subscriptions
provide on-line access via IP address validation, not user
name/password.)
You will receive an email
confirmation of your on-line subscription activation. If you have
made a mistake when entering your details, the system will prompt
you to re-enter your details.
If the IP address form is not filled
in by the administrator, workstations at the institution will NOT
have online access.
You only need to activate your
subscription once. If you have subscriptions to any combination of
BJPsych, The Psychiatrist, and
Advances, you will activate all of your subscriptions
together.
