July 16, 2010 – 2011 Pricing for the Current
Scholarship Program Now Available
2011 pricing for the titles in the Current Scholarship
Program (CSP) is now available on the JSTOR website. The price list may be downloaded
as an Excel file, or accessed via a pricing calculator.
CSP is designed to allow mission-driven publishers to
partner with JSTOR on a premium discoverability and delivery platform while
still retaining control over their pricing and identity. Through CSP, libraries
are able to order current issues subscriptions through JSTOR, which will be
delivered on JSTOR’s platform. Currently 174 titles from 19 publishers
are available for the 2011 subscription year, via the following products:
-
Current
Collections: Traditional journal subscriptions from multiple publishers
bundled as collections that match JSTOR archive collections (e.g. A&S I
Current). Pricing is set at the sum of all titles in the collection.
-
Current
Collection – Full Run: A Current Collection, plus backfiles of each
individual title within that Collection. The price for current content is set
by the publishers, and the backfile pricing is set by JSTOR.
-
Single
Title – Current: a traditional current journal subscription.
Available in electronic, plus P+E or P-only for some titles. Pricing is set by
the publisher.
-
Single
Title – Full Run: The complete run of a single title (Volume 1, Issue
1 through the current issue). Pricing is the sum of the publisher-established
price for 2011 volumes + JSTOR-established fee for backfile volumes.
A current subscription to titles or
collections in CSP will include access to all “born digital”
content for the title (content originally published in electronic form, outside
of an aggregation). This date varies from publisher to publisher. Access is
provided from that date forward through the current subscription year, with new
issues added according to the publisher’s own publication schedule.
JSTOR is now accepting orders for the 2011 subscription year
for electronic and print + electronic subscriptions for the Current Scholarship
Program. Orders may be placed directly with JSTOR or via subscription agents
and consortia, and CSP subscriptions can be added to existing JSTOR license
agreements via a simple rider. Ordering information is available at http://www.jstor.org/page/info/about/programs/currentScholarship.jsp#ordering.
Print-only subscriptions and renewals should continue to be placed directly
with the publishers or subscription agents.
Beginning January 2011, electronic access to journals
participating in CSP will be made available from JSTOR’s platform. The
platform will give scholars and educators an improved online work environment
that combines new content with complete journal backfiles. JSTOR will be
launching a new interface this summer in preparation for the launch of CSP;
additional details on this interface will be available in mid-July. For more
