Should I state membership in a professional society in authors' list? I am one of the five authors in a paper about to be submitted. 
Some of us stated in the affiliation their membership in a certain chemical society closely related to both the subject of the paper and the target journal itself (electrochemistry). I am member of a different chemical society not really germane to that field. 

Should I state my membership in such society ?
It depends on the journal. E.g. In ieee journals it is common practice to add 'member of ieee ...' to the affiliation. 

If the journal is the main publication of a society, you should not mention affiliation to a different organization, at least as long as there are no official relations between the both. 

If in doubt, send a short question to the editor.
