Annual memberships activate upon payment confirmation and remain valid for twelve consecutive months from the activation date. All publication benefits apply to manuscripts submitted during your active membership period regardless of final publication timing, ensuring full value even for papers undergoing extended peer review cycles. Members should retain confirmation documentation for institutional records and grant reporting purposes.

Unused complimentary publications do not carry forward to subsequent membership years. Automatic renewal notices are sent thirty days before expiration with convenient online renewal options enabling uninterrupted access to member benefits and publication discounts throughout your plant science research career. Membership may be upgraded at any time with prorated adjustments reflecting the enhanced tier benefits.
