Our Purpose

JSTOR is a not-for-profit service that enables discovery, access, and preservation of scholarly content.  We collaborate with the academic community to achieve the following goals:

  • Help scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of scholarly content. We use information technology and tools to build a dynamic platform that increases productivity and facilitates new forms of scholarship.
  • Help libraries connect patrons to vital content while increasing shelf-space savings and lowering costs.
  • Help publishers reach new audiences and preserve their scholarly content for future generations.
