JSTOR REGISTER & READ

Register & Read is an experimental program to offer free, read-online access to individual scholars and researchers who register for a MyJSTOR account. Launched in March 2012, Register & Read follows the release of the Early Journal Content as the next step in efforts to find sustainable ways to extend access to JSTOR, specifically to those not affiliated with participating institutions. How does it work? When you find an article that’s part of Register & Read, click on the “Read Online Free” option. Register for a free MyJSTOR account, or log into your account if you already have one. Add the content to your shelf to read the full-text online. After 14 days, you may remove it and add new items to your shelf. PDF versions of some articles will also be available for purchase and download. If you purchase articles from your shelf, the PDF versions may be stored and accessed in your MyJSTOR account at any time. JPASS, a new subscription service for individuals, aims to get more of JSTOR’s archives into the hands of people who might otherwise be cut off from them. For a smallish monthly or yearly fee, researchers can buy the right to read an unlimited number of articles from about 1,500 journals in JSTOR’s archival collection, and they can download up to 10 articles a month or 120 annually.
