Not sure which society you belong to?

Since forming a partnership in 1972, IPEM and IOP Publishing have continued to deliver high-quality resources to the medical physics and biomedical engineering community. Our content is designed for advanced learners, researchers and professionals, offering a wide range of publications in medical physics, biomedical engineering and related fields. It covers subject such as clinical engineering and diagnostic imaging, MRI, nuclear medicine, health informatics and psychological monitoring. It also explores radiation safety, rehabilitation technologies, and other forms of non-ionising radiation.

As an IPEM member, you will have full access to our Physics and Medical Engineering collections:

• Physics in Medicine and Biology
• Physiological Measurement
• Medical Engineering and Physics
• Medical Sensors and Imaging
• Biomedical Physics and Engineering Express

You will also have full access to a comprehensive collection of ebooks specialising in medical Physics and biomedical engineering. To discover more about our ebooks and browse the collection, please head to our IPEM Partner Series page.

If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Service team.

How can I access your content:

To access our content, simply visit the IPEM website and select Login. Sign in using your IPEM membership details, and you’ll be able to search for any journals or research materials you need.

If you’re a Full Member or Fellow, you’ll benefit from single sign-on (SSO) – once you choose a title, you’ll be taken straight to the content without needing to log in again.

Accessing on IOPscience:

For Associate and Affiliate Active Members, you will need to login via our IOPscience website and will have uninterrupted access to Physics, Medicine and Biology.

1. Head to the IOPscience login page.
2. Enter your membership username and password.

If you need any help accessing your subscription, please contact the Customer Service team.

As an LMS member, you can access all your entitled content and our full archive through the IOPscience website.

How to access your LMS content

1. Go to the IOPscience sign-in page.
2. Enter the email address associated with your LMS membership.
3. If you have not used IOPscience before, select Don’t remember your password at the bottom of the login page.

Once you have created your login credentials, you will be presented with a short form to complete your IOPscience user profile. You will only need to complete this on your first visit.

If you need help accessing your subscription, please contact the Customer Service team at IOP Publishing.

London Mathematical Society (LMS):

IOP Publishing works in partnership with the LMS to publish high-quality mathematical content, including Nonlinearity – a leading journal dedicated to nonlinear science and jointly owned by LMS and IOP. Through this collaboration, 100% of the proceeds are reinvested back into the physics and mathematics communicates, helping support ongoing research and development.

What can I access as an LMS member?

• Free online access:
  • LMS members can read Nonlinearity online at no cost once their membership profile has been activated.
• Submit your research:
  • Authors, who have an LMS membership, can also submit their papers directly through our IOPscience website.
• Additional LMS member benefits:
  • Research funding opportunities
  • Member-only events
  • Contribute to important discussions that shape national mathematics policies.

For more information on Nonlinearity, please visit our IOPscience website.

What determines what you can access

Your society membership unlocks a specific set of entitlements. These usually differ in two ways:

• Which journal(s) you can read
• How many years of content are available to you

Because each society negotiates its own arrangement, two members logging in through IOPscience may see very different levels of access even though both are “society members.”

How access typically differs between societies

This is where most confusion comes from. Some societies provide access to one journal, while others include a full archive.

• IPEM members — Access to Physics in Medicine & Biology (PMB)
  • Content years: 1956-2027

• LMS members — Access to titles such as Nonlinearity
  • Content years: 1988-2027

• ASP members — Access to Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP),
  • Coverage: current year plus the previous ten years.

• JSFM members — Access to Fluid Dynamics Research (FDR)
  • Content years: 1986-2027

• IOP Members (full IOP membership) — Access to all IOP owned journals
  • Content years: all available content years (which is the broadest access we offer).

If you are expecting access to multiple journals or full archives but your society membership only includes one title or a limited range of years, the system will show restricted access because that reflects the entitlement set by your society.

How to check what you should have

If you’re not sure which society you’re a member of, or what your membership includes, there are a few easy ways to confirm:

• Look at your society’s membership confirmation or welcome email
• Check the membership benefits section on your society’s website
• Review any login details the society provided for IOPscience

And if you’re still unsure, our Customer Services team can look up your membership type and confirm exactly what you should be able to access.
