ASA Members Directory

This directory provides details of each member and gives information (supplied by the member) on their services, the range of periodicals they supply, the subjects covered, to whom and in which countries and the promotional services offered to publishers. The codes used for each of these sections are defined here.

Full Members of the ASA are shown in bold UPPER CASE. Full members are subscription agents and intermediaries who have achieved a turnover of in excess of £1 million on sales of subscriptions or the provision of services related to the supply of and access to serials information including single article sales and  abstracting and indexing services. Full members agree to follow the ASA Guidelines set out by the association for the purchase and sale of subscriptions and are entitled to include the ASA logo on their business stationery and websites as an indication that they meet the required standard.

Associate Members of the ASA, shown in italics, include agents and intermediaries who presently do not qualify for full membership of the ASA on the basis of turnover but intend to grow their business to achieve full membership status in the future. Associate Members may not be able to offer the full range of services described in the ASA Guidelines but are encouraged to maintain the highest standards in those they do offer. Associate Member status is also open to other organisations involved in serials, for example publishers associations.
