Does your institution require Open Access?
While currently its most recent issues require a subscription, JQR does permit open access in two ways:
Green open access:
JQR authors may post the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) on their personal websites; on noncommercial discipline-specific servers of preprints or postprints; and within noncommercial digital repositories of nonprofit institutions with which they are currently affiliated. The AAM is post-peer review but pre-copyediting and pre-typesetting. Authors may post a link to the published version on Project MUSE when it is available along with source and copyright information. (Authors should post a link to an article rather than post a PDF; article views are an important factor in library purchasing decisions, and by encouraging usage on the journal’s hosting platform, you demonstrate the journal’s value and support the labor involved in its editing and production.) Please contact the journal manager Adrienne Adkins(adatkins@sas.upenn.edu) for further information on where the AAM may be posted.
Gold open access:
It is possible to make the published article fully open access on Project MUSE for a fee. Authors with an open access mandate are encouraged to contact the journal manager for details.
