INNS/ENNS/JNNS Membership includes a subscription to Neural Networks:

The International (INNS), European (ENNS), and Japanese (JNNS) Neural
Network Societies are associations of scientists, engineers, students,
and others seeking to learn about and advance the understanding of the
modeling of behavioral and brain processes, and the application of
neural modeling concepts to technological problems. Membership in any of
the societies includes a subscription to Neural Networks, the official
journal of the societies. Application forms should be sent to all the
societies you want to apply to (for example, one as a member with
subscription and the other one or two as a member without subscription).
The JNNS does not accept credit cards or checks; to apply to the JNNS,
send in the application form and wait for instructions about remitting
payment. The ENNS accepts bank orders in Swedish Crowns (SEK) or credit
cards. The INNS does not invoice for payment.
