Currently Available Collections and Journals

JSTOR offers both multidisciplinary and discipline-specific collections. These options are designed to provide flexibility for libraries and institutions to choose the sets of journals and collection growth paths that are most appropriate for their needs. Information about all of the collections is detailed below.

Currently, participants who have all six Arts & Sciences Collections, the Health & General Sciences Collection, the Biological Sciences Collection and the Business II Collection have access to the entire JSTOR archive.

The Title Lists contain the current title of each journal and provide a list of overlaps (titles included in more than one collection). The Detailed Lists include more detailed coverage information, previous titles, and cataloging numbers. The Delimited Lists provide detailed coverage information in a comma separated value (.csv) format. For more information about the .csv files, please see Delimited JSTOR Title Lists.

Titles in All Collections


Multidisciplinary Collections

The Arts & Sciences Collections represent the building blocks of an interdisciplinary archive of over six hundred journals in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Each of the four core Arts & Sciences Collections introduces new academic disciplines into the archive. The Arts & Sciences Complement enables institutions to build upon these core collections, adding new journals in existing disciplines and cross-disciplinary fields over time. There are no overlaps (titles included in more than one collection) among the Arts & Sciences Collections. The Biological Sciences Collection is an interdisciplinary archive of journals covering the life sciences. The Biological Sciences Collection has minimal overlap with the Arts & Sciences I Collection and is JSTOR's first multidisciplinary collection branching out into the natural and applied sciences.

Arts & Sciences I

The Arts & Sciences I Collection includes the complete back runs of 119 titles in fifteen disciplines. Established in 1997, it is JSTOR's first collection and includes many of the core research and society published journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology, as well as in other key fields in the humanities and social sciences. This collection also includes a selection of titles in the more science-oriented fields of ecology, mathematics, and statistics.

Arts & Sciences II

The Arts & Sciences II Collection is home to 125 titles. This collection adds depth to many disciplines introduced in Arts & Sciences I, such as economics, history, and Asian studies. Arts & Sciences II also offers core journals in several new disciplines, such as archaeology, classics, and African, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Slavic studies.

Arts & Sciences V

(to be completed by the end of 2009)
The Arts & Sciences V Collection will comprise a minimum of 120 titles when it is completed in 2009. Building on disciplines introduced in previous collections, Arts & Sciences V will include a number of important literary reviews and state historical journals. It will also widen the scope of core disciplines in the arts and humanities, such as philosophy, history, classics, religion, art and art history, and language and literature.

Arts & Sciences Complement

(to be completed by the end of 2008)
The Arts & Sciences Complement is intended to offer participants a method to seamlessly add journals related to the core Arts & Sciences I, II, III, and IV Collections. For the Arts & Sciences Complement, journals may be focused in any of the more than thirty arts, humanities, and social sciences disciplines covered by JSTOR. Our aim is to introduce important titles that we were unable to include in earlier collections and to capture journals that cross discipline boundaries. A minimum of 150 titles will be included by the end of 2008.

Biological Sciences

(to be completed by the end of 2007)
The Biological Sciences Collection will include at least one hundred titles when it is completed in 2007. This collection brings together the twenty-nine journals available in our existing Ecology & Botany Collection with more than seventy titles new to JSTOR. Coverage in this collection offers greater depth in fields such as biodiversity, conservation, paleontology, and plant science, in addition to introducing new areas such as cell biology and zoology.

Discipline-Specific Collections

JSTOR's discipline-specific collections offer an alternative path to collection building and a way to meet the needs of more specialized research institutions. The journals in three of these collections—Business, Language & Literature, and Music—are subsets drawn entirely from across the Arts & Sciences Collections. Similarly, Ecology & Botany is a subset of the Biological Sciences Collection. Mathematics & Statistics also has some overlap with Arts & Sciences I, II, IV and Complement. Business II overlaps with Arts & Sciences IV and Complement. The Health & General Sciences Collection has no overlap with any Arts & Sciences Collection or the Biological Sciences Collection. In all cases JSTOR accounts for overlapping titles in its calculation of the collection fees to ensure that participants contribute only once for any title.

Business

The forty-seven titles in the Business Collection are drawn from Arts & Sciences I, II, and IV. The collection brings together core titles in economics and finance, including many publications from the leading scholarly societies, with a range of critical research journals in accounting, labor relations, marketing, management, operations research, and risk assessment.

Business II

(to be completed by the end of 2008)
The Business II Collection will feature at least fifty titles, twenty-five of which will be drawn from Arts & Sciences IV and the Arts & Sciences Complement. We are especially pleased to broaden the number of core international business titles in this collection. Business II also includes a number of journals that explore the intersections between economics and law, policy, and psychology.

Ecology & Botany

The Ecology & Botany Collection contains twenty-nine titles in the biological sciences. Founded with the assistance of the Ecological Society of America, it includes this society's premier research journals alongside a range of titles broadly focused on ecosystems. Topics covered by the ecology journals are wide-ranging, from biodiversity and climate change to conservation and experimental biology. The botany titles—including the oldest botanical journal in the Americas—encompass a range of subjects such as plant biology, systematic botany, and taxonomy. Six of the Ecology & Botany titles are also available in the Arts & Sciences I Collection. All twenty-nine journals are also available in the Biological Sciences Collection.

Health & General Sciences

The Health & General Sciences Collection currently contains ten titles. These titles include several of the most important historical scientific journals published: Science, PNAS, and the publications of the Royal Society of London. The material included in this archive reaches back to the seventeenth century and in total covers more than eight hundred years of journal publication.

In September 2006 the General Science Collection was renamed the Health & General Sciences Collection to reflect the inclusion of ten to fifteen journals in the health sciences. There is no overlap with any Arts & Sciences Collection or the Biological Sciences Collection and the participation fees for this collection will remain unchanged. Please see Upcoming Journals for a list of additional titles that will be included in the future.

Developed with the help of the Modern Language Association, this collection includes PMLA and a range of core journals in the diverse fields of literary criticism that have emerged in the last thirty years. This collection includes thirteen journals from the Arts & Sciences I Collection and forty-five journals from the Arts & Sciences III Collection.
