RSNA offers flexible pricing, supporting the Society’s mission and the mission of our institutional subscribers. We follow a hybrid business model, which supports traditional subscriptions and open access publishing. RSNA does not charge author publication fees and our subscription fees offset costs of peer-reviewing publishing. Read and Publish agreements are available to all institutions and include open-access publishing and reading rights to RSNA’s five journals.

Mission-based pricing is based on the following mission types:

Academic

RSNA offers subscriptions to meet the needs of all academic institutions. If there are multiple institutions or additional user needs, RSNA requires the full institution name, address, research level, type of academic institution, Ringgold ID number (if available) and web address for each participating institution with a description of each user base and additional access rights requested. Also, please indicate if there is a single signatory party for the agreement or if each member institution must be a signatory. RSNA will use this information to determine the appropriate prices based on our subscription model. RSNA will use the number of sites included in the license to determine the level of “site discounts” a licensee will receive. The more sites you have, the greater your discount.

Hospital

RSNA offers subscriptions to single site hospitals and medical centers as well as licenses for hospital systems, medical centers with multiple locations, and multiple outpatient clinics. If there are multisite user needs, RSNA requires that you provide the full institution name, address and bed count for each participating hospital. Please indicate if there is a research facility within a hospital. Also, please indicate if there is a single signatory party for the agreement or if each member hospital/site must be a signatory. RSNA will use this information to determine the appropriate prices based on our subscription model.

RSNA will use the number of sites included in the license to determine the level of “site discounts” a licensee will receive. The more sites you have, the greater your discount.

Public/not-for-profit

Government agencies, publicly funded research institutes, research facilities, and state and national libraries can license RSNA journals. RSNA will analyze the institution’s mission and determine scope of access. This is why RSNA generally asks for the number of sites looking to gain access and the total number of full-time employees (FTEs)—even though most may not access online journals—to determine the size of the organization.

Because RSNA recognizes that it is unfair to base pricing completely on the size of an organization, especially if most employees will not use content, we ask for the number of relevant FTEs (rFTEs). We then determine the ratio of rFTEs to FTEs. The smaller the number of rFTEs in comparison to all FTEs, the larger the discount—up to 85% off the price. RSNA will use the number of sites included in the license to determine the level of “site discounts” a licensee will receive. rFTEs are defined as staff, faculty, researchers, consultants in the fields of radiology, oncology, nuclear medicine, cardiac radiology, computed tomography and any other imaging related staff.

Please note: RSNA does not offer licenses to societies/associations at this time.

Corporate

RSNA offers corporate licenses to corporations and private practices. To prepare a quote, we will analyze the mission of the organization to determine how closely it aligns with RSNA’s own mission and determine scope of access. RSNA requires the number of FTEs and the number of rFTEs to determine pricing.

Because RSNA recognizes it is unfair to base pricing completely on the size of an organization, especially if most employees will not use content, we ask for the number of rFTEs. We then determine the ratio of rFTEs to FTEs. The smaller the number of rFTEs in comparison to all FTEs, the larger the discount—up to 85% off the price.

RSNA will use the number of sites included in the license to determine the level of "site discounts" a user will receive. As an incentive to get all sites to license in a single contract, the more sites you have, the greater the discount.

By reading Radiology, RadioGraphics, Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, and Radiology: Imaging Cancer articles, institutional subscribers agree to the following RSNA institutional subscription terms of use (PDF).

Open access

RSNA supports open access publishing by offering gold and green OA options. In addition to that, Read & Publish agreements are available to interested institutions for all five RSNA journals.

The Radiology Library Advisory Board (RLAB) provides RSNA with insight and advice on how best to distribute the Society’s peer-reviewed journals to physicians, medical students, scientists and the medical community. RLAB meets once a year in conjunction with the Medical Library Association's annual meeting.

Topics of discussion may include: RSNA's suite of journals, open access and transformative agreements, the library's involvement in the submissions process and institutional repositories, and current and future trends affecting the library community within the scope of scholarly publishing. With RLAB’s input, we are better able to serve librarians, medical researchers and journal readers.

If you would like to join RLAB or request additional information, please contact Barbara Walker at bwalker@rsna.org.
