JSTOR JSTOR has a dual mission to create and maintain a trusted archive of important scholarly journals. You can retrieve scanned images of journal issues and pages as they were originally designed, printed, and illustrated. The journals span many disciplines. Is not a current issues database. Because of its archival mission, there is a gap (1 to 5 years), between the most recently published journal issue and the back issues available.
