Genetics in Medicine – Going Green FAQ
Starting in 2020, ACMG members will continue to receive an online subscription to Genetics in
Medicine (GIM) but will no longer automatically receive printed issues of the journal. ACMG
members can still choose to receive printed issues, but they must sign up and pay a nominal fee for an
annual print subscription at dues renewal time or at the time they join ACMG.

Why are we making this change?
Most important is the positive environmental impact this type of change achieves. GIM has
received
numerous requests from members to opt out of print, but we have been unable to offer this option until
now.
In addition, the time, effort and costs for publishing a monthly journal have increased. We believe that
providing the journal in a predominantly electronic format is both more environmentally responsible and
economically sustainable, while also giving members the option to have a print copy if they so choose.
Can I still receive a print copy?
Yes. There will be a nominal charge to receive print issues annually of just $72. This is a significant
saving for ACMG members, as a print and online individual subscription to GIM would cost $1,138
annually
if you were to subscribe to the journal as a nonmember.
How do I sign up for print?
At the time of joining, or at your annual dues renewal, you will be offered the option to sign up for
print copies of GIM. Please note: the mailing list for each issue is sent to the mailing
service 2
months in advance of the mailing date. This can cause considerable delays in both starting to receive
printed copies and stopping receipt of print copies after membership has ceased.
Dues renewal: you can sign up for one year of
print issues to be mailed to you at a cost of $72. Because the mailing list for each issue is sent to
the mailing service 2
months in advance of the mailing date you must renew by October 1st every year to ensure uninterrupted
receipt of your print copy.
New members: at the time of membership acceptance
you will be offered a pro-rated price to receive print copies of GIM through the end of the
year.
Because the mailing list for each issue is sent to the mailing service 2 months in advance of the
mailing date, there may be a delay in receiving your first print copy, but it should be no later than 2
months after you signed up for print delivery.
How will I know when a new issue has posted
online?
You can sign up for an electronic table of contents to be delivered directly to your inbox each month.

I opted in to print but have not yet received a
print copy
The mailing list for each issue is sent to the mailing service 2 months in advance of the mailing date.
This can cause considerable delays in starting to receive print copies. If it has been two months since

Can I change my mind after I have renewed and
start a print subscription?
Yes. Members can sign-in with their ACMG credentials and purchase a subscription to GIM at any
time here. The cost is
prorated based on the date of purchase.
Can I order a single print issue of
Genetics in Medicine?
Yes. Please contact Springer Nature’s Customer Service,
providing them with the journal name, volume, and issue and a price quote will be given for the single
issue.

The journal’s audience includes, but is not limited to clinicians, laboratory professionals, genetic counselors, researchers, students, patients and their families, advocacy groups, and anyone else with an interest in medical genetics and genomics.
