Information correct as of August 2023

Online access to full-text

Subscribers to journals published by the Hogrefe group (Hogrefe Verlag, Hogrefe Publishing, Hogrefe AG) are provided with access to the corresponding full-text online. The precise conditions differ between individual and institutional subscribers.

Online subscriptions always include access to the complete archive of back issues (usually starting with the 1999 volume) during the term of the subscription.

Individual subscribers

Individual subscribers will be provided with personal access to full-text articles via email address and password. The online access is already included in the subscription price. A user account for the electronic access can easily be set up on our eJournals platform.

Our support team will activate the access for our subscribers on request via email.

Journals package for psychology journals:

For an annual fee of € 355.00/CHF 474.00, individual subscribers can also obtain online access to the full-text (in general, including back issues from 1999 onwards) of all 28 active psychology journals as well as the 13 archive journals published by the Hogrefe group (PsyJOURNALS package).

Institutional subscribers

Institutional customers must pay a fee to obtain electronic access to the journals. Institutions have the choice between a print-only subscription, an eOnly subscription, or a combination of print and online. Prices are arranged in ascending order.

Fees for online access to the journals depend on the size of the institution. For academic institutions and schools, the size is determined on the basis of the number of “full-time equivalents” (FTEs; students, teaching staff, research staff) and for public libraries on the basis of the number of registered users (throughout the institution, not single departments). Hospitals will be invoiced on the basis of their total number of beds (throughout the institution, not single departments). For all other institutions (counselling services, public authorities, commercial organizations, etc.), the size is determined on the basis of the number of potential qualified users within the institution, e.g., psychologists, therapists, counsellors, social workers, etc. (“Relevant Professionals” or RPs).

Using these indicators instiutional customers are categorized in one of the four tiers (1, 2, 3 and 4):

Please note that these prices only apply to single-site institutions. Multi-site institutions should request an individual price quotation from our support team via email. 

The online access is usually granted via IP authentication or Remote Access (Shibboleth). As an alternative we also offer access via URL-referrer.

We will be happy to provide a detailed price quotation tailored to your requirements. Please contact via email.

Archive rights after termination of subscription

Since the introduction of our current pricing model (starting with the 2019 annual volumes), institutional subscribers are granted perpetual access rights to the annual volumes for which they had a paid subscription, regardless of the price category. Institutions that paid for online use prior to 2019 retain perpetual archive rights to these volumes as well.

The eJournals are provided and can be used via the current platform Hogrefe eContent. Should the Hogrefe group be unable to ensure access via Hogrefe eContent, the journal contents may also be distributed through another means (e.g., another online platform or as PDF).

Non-subscribers

Free access to bibliographic information: Full bibliographic information and abstracts are available free of charge for non-subscribers on our eJournals platform Hogrefe eContent.
