How to Access JARMAC Through SARMAC

Updated

JARMAC (the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition) is SARMAC's affiliated journal, and the society's website provides a dedicated "Accessing JARMAC" page under the Journal section to explain how members and visitors can reach it. The site also notes that SARMAC members receive access to the journal as one of the benefits of membership. If you are a member, start from the member benefits and the Accessing JARMAC page; if you are not yet a member, the Join or Renew page is the route the site points to.

What JARMAC is and how it connects to SARMAC

JARMAC stands for the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition. SARMAC describes itself as a non-profit professional organization that fosters applied research in memory and cognition, and the journal is presented on the site as the society's journal. The site's member benefits section states that SARMAC members have access to the journal, alongside discounted conference fees, research and grant opportunities, and affiliation with other applied memory and cognition researchers.

Steps to reach JARMAC access information

  1. Go to sarmac.org.
  2. Open the Journal section in the site navigation.
  3. Select Accessing JARMAC — this is the page the site provides specifically for access routes.
  4. If you are not a member and want member access, use Join, Renew or Donate → Join or Renew to join first, then return to the Accessing JARMAC page.

Expected result: you land on the Accessing JARMAC page, which is the site's designated entry point for journal access instructions. The site does not publish pricing or login details for the journal on the pages summarized here, so treat the Accessing JARMAC page itself as the authoritative source for the current access method.

Related journal pages worth knowing

The Journal section also includes several companion pages that may be useful depending on your goal:

Common sticking points

  • Assuming the journal is open access. The site presents journal access as a member benefit; it does not state that JARMAC is freely available to everyone. Check the Accessing JARMAC page for the actual route rather than assuming free access.
  • Looking for a login on the homepage. Access instructions live under Journal → Accessing JARMAC, not on the home page.
  • Confusing membership with conference registration. Conference discounts and journal access are separate member benefits; joining is the step that unlocks the member pathway described on the site.

If your goal is simply to learn what SARMAC is, the About section (Aims and origin, Board and committees, Bylaws, Our members) covers the organization; if your goal is the journal, the Journal section is the correct starting point.
