JSTOR Register and Read

  RES Individual scholars can now use
                            JSTOR to  ‘Register & Read’      

 RES members working in academic institutions have long been able to access online articles  from scholarly journals via JSTOR.   JSTOR archives and provides access to archival and current issues of more than 1,400 scholarly journals across more than 50 academic disciplines.

At the request of RES members who are no longer affiliated to academic institutions or libraries with membership of JSTOR, we have signed the Royal Economic Society to the new JSTOR ‘ Register and Read’ initiative for individual scholars. This will allow scholars working as individuals to:

•    find articles that are part of the JSTOR 'Register & Read' initiative
•   get access, register for a free MyJSTOR account and add article content to your ‘shelf’ in your  JSTOR account.
•    Read the full text online for up to 14 days. After this time you may remove it and add other items to your shelf.
•    Some articles will also be available in pdf version for purchase and download to your shelf for access at any time.

‘Register & Read’ includes approximately 75 journals from more than 40 publishers, a subset of the content in JSTOR. This includes content from the first volume and issue published for these journals through a recent year (generally 3-5 years ago).

'Register and Read' is a free initiative to all RES members who are currently unable to access JSTOR.
