heathendyke asked:
you have a massive library that i'm sure has plenty of scholarly articles about dissemination of information and the evils of capitalism based knowledge restrictions and yet you hide it all behind paywalls? weird hypocrisy
jstor answered:
Hi, this is a question that we hear every so often. The thing, as you can probably gather, is much more complicated than that. I wouldn’t say JSTOR hides content behind paywalls - we actually work to get the content to the people who need it. We get content from publishers, and we have to pay those publishers. Institutional subscriptions provide the money for us to pay them, as well as for digitizing, cataloging, preserving, hosting, and serving that content for millions of users around the world.
Also, you should know that we are a not-for-profit. JSTOR hasn’t raised its fees for higher-ed institutions even once since we launched in 1997, and we now bring them more content than ever. We also provide free access to all educational institutions in Africa, and near-free access to institutions in low-income countries. And we now provide free reading access to 100 articles per month to everyone, no matter if they’re connected to an institution or not. And we are working hard to increase the amount of open access content we provide.
