Back Issues

In 2008 the pilot phase of an initiative to add back issues to MUSE began with the addition of back issues of selected journals published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. In several cases, the addition resulted in the complete run of a title being made available online. Starting in July 2010 and continuing over the next three years, MUSE will be adding a significant number of back issues from other publishers. Through a cost-sharing arrangement with the participating titles, MUSE is able to make the back issue content available without an increase in cost to subscribers.

2010

During the second half of 2010, MUSE expects to launch back issues for these titles:

• Biography (full run)
• English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920 (full run)
• Ethics and the Environment
• The Henry James Review (full run)
• Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved (full run)
• Journal of Modern Greek Studies (full run)
• Journal of Women's History (full run)
• L'esprit Createur
• Race/Ethnicity (full run)
• Rhetoric and Public Affairs (full run)
• Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture
• Theatre Topics (full run)

2011-2013

Back issues for more than 50 other titles are expected to launch in the subsequent three years (2011-2013), with batches of back issue content released up to three times per year, grouped by subjects. Over half will result in full runs for the journal being available in MUSE. Any MUSE journal for which archival content is not already available in JSTOR may participate in the back issue program at the publisher’s choice. Each title’s back issues will be accessible by any subscriber to a collection that includes the title.
