Fee structure for Society membership and publication subscription

Society membership runs on a calendar year (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31). Applications received prior to October 1st are applied to that calendar year. Applications received after that date are applied to the following year.

Reduced member rates for registration at the annual meeting of the Society for Glycobiology will be provided to members whose dues are paid for either the meeting year or the calendar year prior to the advanced registration deadline.

All memberships include a paid electronic subscription to Glycobiology, the journal of the Society for Glycobiology. The journal subscription is part of the membership fee and is not optional. Hard-copies subscriptions are no longer offered as of 2018.
