What is your refund policy?
How does the archiving process impact JPASS?
Because the archive of a journal necessarily grows to include more issues over time, a new year’s worth of published content is added to most journals in the JPASS Collection each January.
How much can I read with JPASS?
You can read ALL the content in the JPASS Collection: full articles and book reviews, entire issues of journals, and decades of academic research.
When is new content added to the JPASS Collection?
The JPASS Collection may be updated over time to included new titles and publishers. The JPASS Collection title list is updated weekly to reflect any new additions.
How will I know when new content is added to the JPASS Collection?
