The online versions contain all the material of the print versions. To start this service, include with your order either the IP or range of IP addresses covering your institution at the mailing address of the subscription.

Continued Access only applies to institutions which have cancelled their subscriptions to all MSA content and have no current subscriptions remaining.  This does not apply if an institution is merely changing subscription agencies.

Perpetual access to all purchased content is not automatic and must be requested by the end user subscriber when confirming non-renewal.  On payment of an agreed annual fee, these institutions can have continued access to content published during the term of their subscription(s), if hosting electronically online with access by IP address continues to be the publishing mechanism.

Should MSA no longer retain the rights to publish the subscribed content, MSA cannot guarantee continued access but would make all reasonable efforts to negotiate such rights with any successor publisher.

MSA is an organization that has been in existence for over 100 years.  Still, “perpetual” is a long time and MSA uses third party services to preserve access to content subscribers have purchased in perpetuity if MSA ceases to exist.   MSA participates in the archiving project of Stanford University's LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) that allows libraries to make copies of materials to which they have subscribed using a special web crawler and store them on the LOCKSS network. Copies of material stored with LOCKSS can only be accessed by libraries who have previously purchased that material.

There are twelve (12) issues of American Mineralogist per year:

• Starting with 2016 (vol. 101), electronic versions of American Mineralogist appear monthly with a link from http://www.msapubs.org.
• Starting with 2016 (vol. 101), print copies of American Mineralogist appear as six (6) double issues: January/February (1-2), March/April (3-4), May/June (5-6), July/August (7-8), September/October (9-10), November/December (11-12).  Mailings are made about every eight weeks, with these double issue numbers, e.g., Jan/Feb (1-2), mailing the week of the 15^th of the first month on the cover. Average weight of an issue is 2.8 lb. or 1.1 kg.

The Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry (RiMG) are printed when the corresponding short course is held. This can be anytime during the year, and the volumes appear on an irregular basis. You can check our website http://www.minsocam.org/msa/RIM/index.html to determine the latest volume so as not to claim non-existent volumes.

Elements is a bimonthly magazine.

Subscribers to GeoScienceWorld (http://geoscienceworld.org) may purchase paper versions of the American Mineralogist and Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry to accompany their electronic access at preferential annual subscription rates of $275.00 (for 2022) for the American Mineralogist and $255.00 (2022) for Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry.

A 20% surcharge for institutional subscribers renewing after January 31, 2022. Late institutional subscriptions are an extra expense requiring the purchase of extra inventory, processing and packing of back issues, and shipping at rates higher than the usual bulk periodical shipping.

Personal subscription rates are available only to members of the Society for copies of the journal for their own use. See our Membership Application. Agencies can pay dues and subscriptions for members if accompanied by the membership information or renewal forms.

Subscription rates include shipping by surface mail. Foreign subscribers may have their journals sent by International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) for an additional US$45.00, or regular air mail for an additional US$150.00. 

Subscriptions must be paid in advance. Pro Forma invoices can be sent if required. Payment can be made by by check, money order, UNESCO coupons, or Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, or UnionPay credit card.

Checks should be made payable to The Mineralogical Society of America. The checks need to be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on an U.S. bank, and have electronically readable routing and account information on the check.

For customers paying by bank draft, overseas money order, electronic transfer, or by any other indirect payment transfer:

1. Include the MSA invoice number and your name in the bank transfer advice so that we will be able to  recognize your payment.   MAKE THESE THE VERY FIRST pieces of information in the advice field!  Banks often have a limited number of characters (15 of less) that can be included in this field.
2. MSA will not accept any transfers that do not equal the amount due. This means that you must prepay any fees, otherwise the bank or any third party corresponding bank will subtract them from your remittance. ===>>> The best way to accomplish this is to instruct your bank that MSA must receive a certain dollar amount figure, not that you wish to send a certain dollar amount. If you do not prepay the fees, or your bank cannot transfer directly, please add US$30.00 to the amount of your invoice to cover these bank fees.

MSA cannot be responsible for currency sent through the mails.
