Join us on a sustainable path to open access

We invite you to join Path to Open, a new collaboration between JSTOR, university presses, and libraries that addresses the challenges of funding open access (OA) books.

Participating libraries will acquire unlimited, exclusive access on JSTOR to high-quality frontlist Path to Open books every year. Three years after publication, the titles will then be released openly to the world. View current titles and preview what’s coming.

In alignment with JSTOR’s mission, this model provides a pathway for equitable access and impact for the entire scholarly community:

University presses can publish open access books sustainably
Libraries acquire affordable, high-quality frontlist titles
Readers worldwide gain access to valuable content
Authors reach a global audience
