Books at JSTOR partners with Latin American and Spanish publishers

Books at JSTOR partners with 54 Iberoamérican publishers to make their ebooks accessible on the JSTOR platform to researchers around the world. More than 5,000 titles in Spanish and 420 titles in Portuguese are now available, and new titles are added every week.

The ebooks are integrated with more than 2,000 journals on the JSTOR platform, including important Latin American publications such as El Trimestre Económico, Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos, and Desarrollo Económico. It’s easy for faculty and students to discover and use the ebooks alongside journal articles on JSTOR.

Libraries can request more information about the content and savings available.

Open access titles now available

Open access journal and ebook titles are now accessible on JSTOR, including ebooks in Spanish and Portuguese. All open access content is freely available at no cost to libraries or users, no registration or login required.

Thanks to a grant from the Mellon Foundation, 680 out-of-print books published by El Colegio de México have been digitized and made available on an open access basis on JSTOR. These titles have been used more than half a million times in 173 countries and territories. Every single title has been used. We recorded usage of these El Colegio de México titles at 4,285 institutions, including not only colleges and universities, but also community colleges, secondary schools, government and not-for-profit organizations, and public libraries.

In addition, a partnership led by the Latin American Research Resources Project (LARRP) in collaboration with the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), JSTOR, and Latin American bookseller García Cambeiro has introduced a sustainable open access model to increase the discovery of content from Latin America. This pilot project has made more than 441 of CLACSO’s frontlist titles published in Argentina since 2018, available to everyone. These ebooks have seen significant usage with over 1.8 million titles viewed by 232 territories/195 countries. The pilot also funded 34 titles by the Centro de Estudios Avanzados de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba with over 7,000 titles viewed since January 2023 by 94 countries.
