JSTOR has joined the Opening the Future programme as a hosting partner for Open Access ebooks published by Central European University Press and Liverpool University Press. These ebooks will be freely available on JSTOR, in addition to the publishers’ websites and other platforms offering Open Access ebooks. Making the titles available on multiple platforms ensures that users can discover and access this scholarship through their preferred research workflows.
JSTOR currently hosts 17 Open Access titles published by Central European University Press and 74 OA titles published by Liverpool University Press. Additional Open Access titles will be made available on the JSTOR platform as they are published. Libraries may use JSTOR's free MARC records or discovery service integration to make its full Open Access ebook collection of 8,000+ titles discoverable to patrons and automatically receive updates as new ebooks become available.
In the Opening the Future programme, library subscriptions to backlist titles are used to fund the Open Access publication of frontlist titles. The backlist subscriptions are currently not available through JSTOR; libraries can learn more about how to subscribe to the backlist packages.
