JSTOR will begin offering Publisher Collections, a new model within the Books at JSTOR program, in 2026. The model responds directly to the needs of libraries and publishers for diverse, affordable books acquisition models.
The model encourages equitable, broad access to scholarship. Each Publisher Collection will provide:
- A perpetual JSTOR license to current year title sets from a press
- Access to all earlier press titles on JSTOR for active participants
- An innovative tiered approach to publisher-set fees based on JSTOR’s classification methodology
- International country savings aligned with JSTOR’s Archive program
Like all books in the Books at JSTOR program, Publisher Collection books will be DRM-free and searchable alongside journal articles and research reports aligned to related subjects, along with primary sources, images, and multimedia, on JSTOR’s trusted platform. The 20+ publishers already participating in Publisher Collections include university presses and independent academic publishers.
