===Limitations===
The availability of most journals on JSTOR is controlled by a "[[Embargo (academic publishing)|moving wall]]", which is an agreed-upon delay between the current volume of the journal and the latest volume available on JSTOR. This time period is specified by agreement between JSTOR and the publisher of the journal, which usually is three to five years. Publishers may request that the period of a "moving wall" be changed or request discontinuation of coverage. Formerly, publishers also could request that the "moving wall" be changed to a "fixed wall"—a specified date after which JSTOR would not add new volumes to its database. {{As of |2010|11}}, "fixed wall" agreements were still in effect with three publishers of 29 journals made available {{Needs update|date=March 2021|reason=This information is over a decade old.}}online through sites controlled by the publishers.<ref name="Wall" />
 
In 2010, JSTOR started adding current issues of certain journals through its Current Scholarship Program.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://about.jstor.org/content/about-current-journals |title=About current journals |publisher=JSTOR |access-date=December 1, 2012}}</ref>
