JSTOR – Scholarly Journal archives

JSTOR provides a digital archive of scholarly journals (complete runs of journals, select monographs, transactions and conference proceedings), both in multidisciplinary and in discipline-specific collections.

Via IReL (the Irish Research eLibrary), TCD Library has access to the JSTOR collections: the Ireland Collection (nearing completion), the Arts and Sciences I to VII, the Life Sciences Collection, Public Health Reports and, temporarily, the 19th Century British Pamphlets.

The JSTOR Arts and Sciences Collection consists of seven parts. Arts and Sciences I began with supplying the archives of core journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology and also provides titles in ecology, mathematics, and statistics. The next group, Arts and Sciences II adds to the collections in I. Group III introduces languages and literature, IV focusses on Business, Education and Law and Group V, VI and VII build on all that has gone before. There are between 100 and 150 titles in each group.

The Ireland Collection has titles and resources across the arts, humanities and sciences. A recent addition to the JSTOR Ireland Collection has been, The Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy. TCD library keeps the hardcopy of the Transactions in Early Printed Books stacks; 33 volumes, covering 1787 to 1907. Through the database, Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), TCD readers have online access to the 7 volumes of the Transactions published in the Eighteenth century. With JSTOR, there is online access to the full run.

It is important to note that JSTOR is an archive. It will not provide access to current journals. There is a “moving wall" with most titles, that is, a time-lapse between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. It is usually between three to five years. For example, JSTOR has now uploaded the archives of the RIA’s Ériu, covering the years 1904 - 2005 (Vols. 1 - 55). The moving wall here is three years. The Library has the current (Vol. 58, 2008) issue in hard copy.

The archive is being added to continually. A full list of JSTOR titles and collections can be accessed from JSTOR's Collections at your institution page under Resources for Librarians on the JSTOR website. The journal titles may also be found through the TCD Library website's list of ejournals or easy access to the full JSTOR collection is on the Library's website under Information Resources: Databases: J.
