The WMF is working to secure JSTOR access for Wikipedia contributors, either through a site license (preferred) or through a small number of individual subscriptions. (Details and discussion here) This is a signup page for people who would like access to JSTOR.

In the event that a site license cannot be secured and individual subscriptions will be used, to the greatest extent possible these will be assigned on the basis of need and merit. Please note in your request how you would use the subscription, and whether or not you already have access to JSTOR through a local library or University.

Bear in mind that a full site license, if it does happen, will take some time to implement. So please be patient with us.

1. For further featured material (articles/lists) and no, I have no access to JSTOR material. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
2. For featured and good articles as well as filling out current coverage. I only have access to JSTOR material through an hour or so drive to a university. At the price of gas now, that's $40 or so a trip. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
3. For featured articles. I have no access to JSTOR, and have missed it sorely in the past. --Noleander (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
4. For work primarily on Mesoamerican articles, both GAs and FAs and adding new content generally. I have no JSTOR access and it is a constant frustration. Simon Burchell (talk) 18:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
5. I do not have access to the JSTOR site. But a fellow editor (will disclose name to contacts if requested) was gracious enough to mail me the PDFs I requested, which he told me he acquired through a professor he knew. I Googled jstor domain to find links which I appear to be useful from the abstract or name and mail it to him. The process took about 3 weeks due to non-availability of his friend professor. I contribute to FAs, GAs and DYKs generally realated to Hinduism and India. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
6. I have no access to JSTOR and have to rely on the kindness of others. It would be a massive help for the kind of historical articles I tend to write, and may even allow me to start serious work on some of the generally poor psychology articles. Malleus Fatuorum 18:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
7. I have written several medical and biological articles and patrol recent changes to medical articles. My access to JSTOR lapses mid-June. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs) 18:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
8. I don't have JSTOR access. I would use it for reviewing and writing if I had it. - Dank (push to talk) 18:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
9. I do not have access to the JSTOR site. But the extracts I've found have been extremely useful to my articles and I've lost count of how many times I've wished I could access it fully as a resource. I'd love for it to be available to all wikipedia editors and believe it would be invaluable for anybody who requests it in article writing. I would use it for a whole diversity of articles. Today I wished to read the entire article it had on Salomon Schweigger which if I had been able to access it no doubt the article would be more comprehensive.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
10. Yes please. I was doing an article just now where a paper in JSTOR clearly had an article full of relevant information. I often get that. Frustrating. Wish I could see the papers. I start a lot of articles (over 2,000 so far) often on academic topics and have no library access. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
11. I would love to have JSTOR to help me write Good and Featured articles. I have often bumped up against the lack of access. Binksternet (talk) 20:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
12. My featured articles often require me to beg and borrow JSTOR access from all and sundry (my college doesn't remember me so it's daughter's university, friendly fellow-editors etc). I'd give a lot for my own direct access, especially to music journals. Brianboulton (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
13. I don't have access to JSTOR; my article writing has fallen off as of late - access to JSTOR as a resource will help...Modernist (talk) 20:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
14. Editor since 2007. Write FA and GA quality articles with a technical leaning. JSTOR is good for papers on the history of technology, and I have frequently found the need for JSTOR retrievals, but have no access except through others. If I had access myself it would speed the process up no end and would encourage the retrieval of not-so-obvious sources. If I am given an account, I undertake to make myself available at WP:LIBRARY for the benefit of others. SpinningSpark 21:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
15. I have no direct access to JSTOR and am frequently frustrated when google throws up juicy-looking first pages of articles on my major interests, opera and architecture, e.g. this one, discovered today, on a leading music critic with a rather short WP article. --GuillaumeTell 21:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
16. I have no access to JSTOR and have to go through Wikipedia's resource exchange when I need an article, and although people are always extremely helpful there, it's only fair to use the service judiciously. It would be wonderful to have full access, particularly in the areas of history and politics. I've been editing for over seven years, and focus mainly on writing content (creating and improving), including 10 featured articles. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
17. I had access to JSTOR through my University, but I haven't been a student in almost a year because of illness concerns, so I longer have access. JSTOR can be extremely useful for some of the historical journals they have of harder to get biographies. If I go back to studies, I will disactivate the JSTOR account so another editor can use it. Secret ^account 23:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
18. No JSTOR access, which would be extremely useful for my work on art history articles. Johnbod (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
