JSTOR: Options for Access to JSTOR

Options for Access to JSTOR

Students/researchers affiliated with a JSTOR participating library or organization
The JSTOR collections are available at thousands of participating libraries and institutions (see lists of participants: United States and International). However, if you are trying to access JSTOR from an off-campus location, you may not be recognized as being affiliated with a participating site. Please visit your library's website to log in to JSTOR, or contact a librarian to learn about options for remote access. If you have an account issued by your institution or organization, you may immediately enter JSTOR via the Institutional/Organizational log in page.
Independent Scholars
Please be assured that we appreciate the interest of all those who would like access to the journals archived in JSTOR, not simply those affiliated with colleges and universities. While individual subscriptions to the entire JSTOR archive are not available at this time, there are several possibilities for accessing journals and articles archived in JSTOR:
- Affiliation with a JSTOR participating publisher or scholarly society
  Individual access to certain journals in the JSTOR archive is provided by some participating publishers and scholarly societies. Individual researchers may purchase an account for Individual Participation through one of these participating JSTOR publishers. If you already have an individual access account, you may enter JSTOR via the JSTOR Password Account Log In page, or the log in page at the publisher's website.
- Visit your local library
  The journals in the JSTOR archive are available at many libraries. You may wish to check your library's print holdings for the journals archived in JSTOR, or you may be able to use JSTOR at a participating library that is open to the public. Our license agreement with libraries allows for use of the collection by anyone present in the library, whether or not they are affiliated with that institution. Check the lists of United States and International institutions for a JSTOR participating library near you.
- Purchase an article from the publisher
  Some publishers offer article reprints and article or issue purchase options, either through their own website or through a service facilitated by JSTOR on our publishers' behalf. Please select the "Contact JSTOR" link above to request more information.
  
  If you previously purchased an article from the publisher using the service facilitated by JSTOR, you may access that article using the Previous Purchase Retrieval form.
