JSTOR (Journal Storage) : JSTOR, 1995 yılında bağımsız ve kar amacı gütmeyen bir kuruluş olarak Andrew W. Mellon Vakfı tarafından kurulmuştur. JSTOR projesinin temel amacı, dergilerin eski sayılarını dijital ortama atarak kütüphanelerin karşılaştıkları depolama, saklama, koruma ve erişim problemlerine çözüm bulmaktır. Projenin hedefleri arasında bilimsel dergi literatürüne güvenilir ve geniş bir arşiv sağlayarak bu dergilere erişimi artırmak, kütüphanelere dergilerin eski sayılarına erişim konusunda yardımcı olmak, bilimsel yayınların yayınevleri ve dernekler arasında karşılıklı değişimine katkıda bulunmak ve elektronik erişimin bilimsel kaynakların kullanımı üzerine etkisini araştırmak da yer almaktadır (JSTOR 2003).
JSTOR veri tabanının Amerika dışında, biri İngiltere'de diğeri Macaristan'da olmak üzere iki yansısı (mirror) bulunmaktadır. Veri tabanı, genellikle sosyal bilimler ve insani bilimler olmak üzere 15 alanla ilgili a şağıdaki konuları içeren dergilerin eski sayılarına erişim sağlar: Antropoloji, Amerika ve Asya etüdleri, ekoloji, ekonomi, eğitim, maliye, fen, tarih, edebiyat, matematik, felsefe, siyasal bilimler, nüfus etüdleri, sosyoloji ve istatistik. JSTOR, dergilerin güncel sayılarını içermez fakat günümüzden 2-5 yıl öncesine kadarki dergilerin bütün sayılarını kapsar.
JSTOR'da dergilerin seçimi dört temel kritere dayanmaktadır:
Atıf etki faktörü verileri
Alan ile ilgili uzmanların değerlendirmeleri
O dergiye abone olan kuruluş sayısı
Yayımlanmaya başladığı tarih
Seçilen dergilerin kaç yıl öncesinden itibaren dijital ortama aktarılarak erişime sunulacağı konusunda yayınevleri ile yapılan anlaşmalara göre farklı zaman sınırlamaları kullanılmakta olup, “hareket duvarı” adı verilen bu zaman sınırlamaları 3-5 yıl arasında değişmektedir (Murphy 2000; Guthrie 2000b).
JSTOR, kar amacı gütmeyen ancak kendi kendini devam ettirebilen bir proje olarak planlanmıştır. Bu nedenle veri tabanına erişim abonelik ile sağlanmaktadır. Abonelik ücretlendirmelerinde ise kurumların yaptıkları araştırmaları yansıttığı düşüncesiyle The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education sınıflaması temel alınmaktadır (Guthrie 1997). Aralık 2002 tarihi itibariyle JSTOR koleksiyonunda sanat ve bilim konularında toplam 239, işletme alanında 20, ekoloji ve botanik alanında 29, genel konularda 7 ve dil ve edebiyat alanında 47 olmak üzere toplam 342 dergi bulunmaktadır (JSTOR Title List 2003).
JSTOR'da yer alan dergiler 600dpi bitonal TIFF formatında “rich digital master” olarak arşivlenirken, kullanıcıya belgeyi TIFF, PDF ve Post Script gibi değişik formatlarda elde etme seçenekleri sunulmaktadır. Veri tabanı taramaları sırasında doğru tarama sonuçları getirebilmek amacıyla, kullanıcının direkt olarak erişemediği, ancak OCR kullanılarak oluşturulmuş metin tarama imkanı veren bir indeks kullanılmaktadır (JSTOR and Accesibility 2003; Guthrie 2000b).0-9
