JSTOR (short for Journal Storage) is an online library that provides access to more than 12 million academic journal articles, books, and primary sources in 75 disciplines. It hosts material from over 2,500 publishers, including many of the world’s leading university presses and scholarly societies. Users can search for content across the entire collection, as well as browse by subject, publication, or journal. Additionally, users can access JSTOR's free tools, such as the JSTOR Daily, the JSTOR Labs tools, and the Topic Pages, which offer information related to their research interests. JSTOR also provides access to over 1,000 eBooks, as well as access to archival material, such as newspapers and magazines, and data sets.
Special software was put in place to make pictures and graphs clear and readable. [10]en.wikipedia.orgJSTOR access improved based on feedback from its initial sites, and it became a fully searchable index accessible from any ordinary web browser.
Twitter users have pointed out that JSTOR has not released any essay that was under paywall; instead, it is just replugging those articles and papers that users already had open access to.theprint.inEssentially, JSTOR has simply tried to score brownie points on the back of a deadly virus that has claimed more than 10,000 lives globally.
More than 1,500 institutions in Africa and in low-income nations in other continents receive access to JSTOR free of charge or for steeply reduced fees through our JSTOR Access Initiative program.about.jstor.orgLibraries may also utilize JSTOR for electronic interlibrary loan, providing a way for people to gain access even if their local libraries don’t participate in JSTOR.

The Roles
Fellows at ITHAKA have the opportunity to work with one of the teams listed below. Opportunities vary from year-to-year and applicants will be matched with a team based on needs, interest, and skills.
Ithaka S+R is a not-for-profit research and strategic consulting service. We help academic and cultural communities serve the public good and navigate economic, technological, and demographic change. As an Ithaka S+R fellow, you will work collaboratively on projects that help shape the national postsecondary educational landscape and improve the lives of students and other key stakeholders in higher education.
JSTOR Daily, an online magazine that provides scholarly context for news and current events to more than six million readers a year, is looking for a web-savvy, detail-oriented fellow to join our team. JSTOR Daily highlights the research and other content on JSTOR and Artstor, our platforms that make academic journals, books, documents, images, and other primary source materials available to millions of learners around the world. As a fellow with JSTOR Daily, you'll be supporting the success of our free publication that ties news to scholarship.
Reveal Digital is devoted to publishing open access primary source collections that uncover hidden, alternative, radical, and often challenging voices. As a Reveal Digital fellow, you will have an opportunity to conduct historical research to identify possible primary source materials to add to collections, and support the success of these collections by incorporating data into Reveal Digital's information systems.
JSTOR Labs seeks to explore the future of research and teaching, one project at a time.
