JSTOR Arts & Sciences JSTOR Arts & Sciences, a scholarly database, provides access to scholarly journal articles on the arts, sciences, social sciences, psychology and management. Full-text availability of most journals starts from their first year of publication. JSTOR is an archival database, so it doesn't usually provide full-text access to the most recently published volumes of journals. Full-text access is usually kept behind a "moving wall" of volumes published 3 to 5 years in the past.
