JSTOR Access Initiative
The JSTOR Access Initiative expands global access to knowledge by providing free or reduced-fee access to JSTOR’s complete archival journals and primary sources collections for qualifying institutions.
The JSTOR Access Initiative program provides free or reduced-fee access for eligible nonprofit institutions according to a tiered system. It offers unlimited access to a collection of all archival journals and primary sources on JSTOR.
JSTOR Access Initiative and country-based savings eligibility and tier levels are determined using the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI), a widely recognized measure that incorporates indicators related to health, education, and standard of living.
