Journal Products
Project MUSE Journal Products for Public Libraries in the USA and Canada
Project MUSE offers access to both current and archival content from hundreds of prestigious peer-reviewed scholarly journals, across a large range of subjects within the humanities and social sciences. More than 200 not-for-profit publishers produce the journals on the MUSE platform, including university presses, scholarly societies, research institutes, academic departments, and independent titles. A wide variety of subscription options makes it easy to provide access to the ideal mix of titles to meet your institution's needs and budget. Our curated MUSE Journal Collections provide value for all sizes and types of libraries. Many journals are also available for institutional single title subscriptions on the MUSE platform, and a new bundle of hosted journals - titles not available via any curated collection - is now available.
Curated Journal Collections
Project MUSE journal collections are available for subscription access. Public libraries may select from among three curated, interdisciplinary collections designed to meet specific needs and budgets. Subscriptions to the Journal Collections operate on a calendar year term; all subscriptions expire on December 31. Subscriptions beginning after January 31 are pro-rated for the remainder of the calendar year term, and there are no rolling subscription terms.
Libraries considering a MUSE Journal Collection subscription may:
- Read descriptions of the available collections

- Request a free 45-day trial to a selected collection (requires creating a user account). Trials are limited to one per 24-month period.

- Preview and complete the Project MUSE Journal Collection License Agreement

Single Title Subscriptions
Many journals are available for single title subscriptions on the MUSE platform. Some of these journals are also available in the MUSE collections, while others available only for single title subscription. Subscriptions may be placed through most major agents, and some titles may be ordered directly with the Johns Hopkins University Press Journals Division, which provides fulfillment services for single titles on the MUSE platform. Other titles must be ordered directly from the publisher. Learn more about single title subscription availability, pricing, policies, and procedures.

PLUS+ Package
The Project MUSE Journals PLUS+ Package (formerly called Premium Plus) provides access to a large bundle of titles that are part of the journal hosting program on the MUSE platform. These titles are not included in any of the curated MUSE Journal Collections. Subscriptions to the PLUS+ Package run on a calendar year, in sync with subscriptions to MUSE's curated journal collections, and may be ordered and renewed via the same channels. Libraries that subscribe to both the MUSE Premium Collection, and the PLUS+ package, will have access to current content, plus all available backfiles, for all but a handful of the journals on the MUSE platform.
