JSTOR Current Scholarship Program Announces 2013 Catalog and Pricing

New Titles, Discipline Collections, and Deposit Accounts Now Available

JSTOR is pleased to announce the 2013 catalog and price list for the Current Scholarship Program (CSP) are now available online at http://about.jstor.org/csp.

A total of 230 titles—24 of them new to the program—will be available for the 2013 subscription year. The Current Scholarship Program – which integrates current journals alongside archival content on the JSTOR platform – has been growing steadily since its launch in 2011. For 2013, thirty-eight leading publishers are participating in the program, and we anticipate additional journals will be added throughout the summer.

Twenty-one Discipline Collections are newly available for 2013, providing journal subscriptions from multiple publishers bundled as collections that serve researchers and scholars in core subject areas. See http://about.jstor.org/content-collections/journals%E2%80%94current/subscription-options/collections-packages for more information.

Institutions may subscribe to current journals in the Current Scholarship Program as single titles, discounted Publisher Packages, Discipline Collections, or the discounted Complete Current Scholarship Collection. All current issues prices are set by participating publishers, and some publishers and titles offer pricing tiered according to JSTOR classifications. Orders can be placed directly with JSTOR or via your subscription agent. JSTOR is also pleased to announce that we now offer deposit accounts, which institutions may use to set aside funds for later allocation to JSTOR offerings. Institutions interested in setting up a deposit account with end-of-year funds can contact participation@jstor.org for more information

About the Current Scholarship Program
The Current Scholarship Program (CSP) provides access to 230 high-quality current titles from 38 leading publishers, linking current journals with archival content on JSTOR’s trusted platform. JSTOR is one of the most heavily used and relied-upon platforms for academic libraries, helping to make that content easy to use and discover, while ensuring its long-term preservation.

The Current Scholarship Program was created to help the academic community – presses, scholarly associations, libraries, faculty, and students – benefit from investment in a shared technology platform and related services to support the publication, dissemination, and use of new scholarship.  It was born of a deep understanding of the needs of scholarly publishers as well as libraries and users, and the challenges and inefficiencies inherent in the current system of scholarly communication.
