Institutional subscribers

The subscription fee allows for unrestricted Internet access at one location. Any user connecting from an authorized computer on your institutional network is allowed access to CMAJ. If your institution has an online subscription, you should be able to view full text of the current issue. You can tell if the electronic version has been activated: text at the top of the page confirms you're signed in as part of an institution.

If you are prompted to enter a username and password, this means the IP address for your computer is not being recognized because:

  • Your institutional subscription has not yet been activated. All subscribers to the paper journal receive access to the online journal. Notify your library that you would like access to CMAJ, and encourage your librarian to activate the online subscription.
  • The person who "activated" the online subscription did not enter in all needed IP addresses for your institution.
  • The person who "activated" the online subscription does not realize that some subnets of your institution are routed through a proxy server.

If your institution has a CMAJ subscription but you are unable to access the full text, you should contact the librarian at your institution. Alternately, you can contact us at subscriptions@cma.ca.

Institutional account administrator only

If you are an institutional subscriber, you should not share your administrator username and password. However, you may share the public username and password. For further information, see Terms and conditions.

Should you forget your customer number, contact us at subscriptions@cma.ca. Please provide your name and address so that we are able to quickly find you in our system.
