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.
