What is JSTOR?

JSTOR is a full text, online database of scholarly, research journals. ANE Library has a subscription to JSTOR’s collection of journals in Ecology & Botany. Full text coverage for the journals in this collection begins with the first issues, making it a true archive. (However, full text coverage does not include the most recent issues; see more information on this under What is the “moving wall”?) You can read the full text of an article online or choose to download it in one of several formats.

What is the “moving wall”?

Full text for journals in JSTOR is not available for the most recent 3-5 years of publication. This time period is known as the “moving wall” and is indicated for every journal in the detailed list for each collection. If a journal’s “moving wall” number is 5, then full text for that journal is not in JSTOR for anything published within the last 5 years. In 2004, that means full text coverage for that journal stops with 1999.
