Participation Fees for Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions

The Arts & Sciences Complement

The Arts & Sciences Complement allows participants 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 JSTOR's more than thirty arts, humanities, and social sciences disciplines. JSTOR's aim is to introduce important titles not included in earlier collections and to capture journals that cross discipline boundaries. A minimum of 150 journals will be added over five years, concluding by the end of 2008.

Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions will pay a one time only Archive Capital Fee (ACF) and an ongoing Annual Access Fee (AAF) for each collection. The ACF is designed to help ensure that JSTOR has the necessary resources to meet its archival obligation as technology evolves. The ACF is one time fee, paid upon licensing an institution's first JSTOR collection. With the licensing of subsequent collections, no further ACF will be required. For further information, please see Archive Capital Fees for Government and Non-Profit Research Institiutions.

Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions will contribute an Annual Access Fee for participation in each of the collections that they select. The AAF helps cover the recurring costs of updating the archive, and maintaining access and support services for participating institutions. Please see JSTOR Classifications for an explanation of the five classes of Government and Non-Profit Research Institutions.

Institutions may participate in the Arts & Sciences Complement at any time and in any combination with other JSTOR collections.

The Annual Access Fee for the Arts & Sciences Complement will be pro-rated to reflect the number of titles that are available for access at the beginning of each year. In 2007, it will be 80% of the listed fee. The AAF for 2008 and after will be the full fee listed in the chart above.

New JSTOR participants should complete the JSTOR Archive License Agreement. Participants wishing to add the Arts & Sciences Complement to their JSTOR holdings should complete the Collections Rider.
