If you choose to register for any of the personalized features of the site—such as table of contents alerts, search alerts, saved articles or purchase single Pay-Per-View articles—you will need to update your login. New users registering on the site for the first time will be guided through a similar procedure to enter and validate their e-mail logins.

NOTICE OF POLICY CHANGE
E-mail Address Now Required for
Wiley InterScience User Logins



Beginning August 15th 2005, Wiley InterScience will require individual users of the site, who access online subscriptions via a username and password, to update their registration information with a valid e-mail address in place of a self-selected username.

This new policy is designed to help improve security and reduce account duplication. Requiring an e-mail address as a login has become widely standard practice among many high-profile commercial websites.

Now, when a registered user comes to the Wiley InterScience site, and enters their existing login, the following will occur:

User enters current login and password.
User is prompted to enter name, country, and an area of interest, along with a single valid e-mail address.
User receives a one-time confirmation e-mail, then clicks on the authentication link in the message. The verification process is complete.
Afterward, users can login to the site with just their e-mail and password. (NOTE: confirmation links expire after 24 hours; after that, users can re-submit their info, if necessary)

This is a one-time process. Aside from the confirmation e-mail, users will not be sent any further e-mail alerts from Wiley InterScience unless they explicitly opt-in to receive such messages.

If you no longer use your Wiley InterScience login, or access online content only via institutional IP-based subscriptions, then you do not need update your account. Only individuals who access personal, member, or complimentary subscriptions via a login will have to do this.

Similarly, if you choose to register for any of the personalized features of the site—such as table of contents alerts or purchase single Pay-Per-View articles—you will need to update your login. New users registering on the site for the first time will be guided through a similar procedure to enter and validate their e-mail logins.
