Single Title Journal Subscriptions

Single Title Journal Subscriptions on Project MUSE

Project MUSE offers a wide array of journals as single title subscriptions. Some of these journals are also available in the MUSE collections, while others are available only as single titles. Libraries may order single title subscriptions through their preferred subscription agent. Additionally, the Johns Hopkins University Press provides fulfillment services for many titles, while others must be ordered via the publisher or their designated distributor.

Subscribing to individual titles on the MUSE platform, alongside MUSE journal collections and electronic books, provides a seamless user experience and enhances the discovery of relevant, timely content. Metadata for all journals on the MUSE platform, including those hosted outside of collections, is widely distributed to all major library discovery services. MUSE ensures compliance with current accessibility standards, and supports best practices in preservation and – when applicable – platform migration.
