In partnership with your press, we’re excited to offer your book on JSTOR through Path to Open, a community-led Books at JSTOR program that expands open access to humanities and social science scholarship at scale while balancing the needs of authors, publishers, libraries, and readers. By publishing a monograph through Path to Open, authors benefit from increased visibility, discovery, reach, and engagement on JSTOR, first through participating libraries and ultimately with readers worldwide when their title becomes open access.
Whether your book was just accepted, is available on JSTOR through licensed access, or is now open access, this toolkit makes it easy to promote your work at every stage. You’ll find ready-to-use copy, social media assets, and outreach ideas that you can use as-is or personalize in your own voice to help increase the visibility, discovery, and reach of your book.
Customizable resources
Easily share news about your book with customizable, ready-to-use content you can post on your faculty page, department profile, blog, campus announcement, or social media channels.
These templates help you let colleagues, students, peers, and your broader community know that your book is available through Path to Open.
