ECS Digital Library Registration

ECS Members: Registration for online access to restricted content in the ECS Digital Library is always open to all ECS members, new and old. After you have successfully registered, you should have immediate access to the restricted content.

Registration for New ECS Members—Every new member of ECS is sent an e-mail message whose subject line is "ECS New Member Information." This e-mail explains that the new member will automatically receive an email from AIP's Scitation Help Desk with the subject line "ECS Online Publications Registration Instructions." The e-mail from Scitation provides registration instructions and a link to the registration site. New members should follow the instructions in this e-mail to complete the registration process.

Registration for Existing ECS Members—Existing ECS members who have never registered for online access may do so at any time, but will need their ECS membership number to complete the process. ECS members may request this number by sending e-mail to membership@electrochem.org. Next, the member must contact AIP's Scitation Help Desk by sending e-mail to help@scitation.org, include the ECS membership number in this e-mail, and request online access registration instructions. In return the member will receive an e-mail from Scitation that provides registration instructions and a link to the registration site. Members should follow the instructions in this e-mail to complete the registration process.

Nonmember Subscribers: The ECS Digital Library is hosted by AIP on its Scitation platform. Subscribers must either complete a Site Licence Agreement or make arrangements for a username and password login.
