Citation Management: Permanently Linking to Content on JSTOR

  • Updated

On this page:

When you need to permanently link to an item on JSTOR, look for its stable URL and/or remote access URL on the item page.

Stable URLs

Each item on JSTOR has a stable URL (or permanent link) which you can find after the item's title on the item page. Stable URLs are the best choice for citations or for sharing with a broad audience.

Remote access URLs

In addition to a stable URL, journal articles and select image content on JSTOR will also display a remote access URL when you're logged in through your institution via proxy, SAML, or Google or Microsoft single sign-on (SSO). See How to tell if you are logged in to JSTOR.

Remote access URLs are a good choice for sharing with other members of your institution (for example, in course content). You can find an item's remote access URL on the item page in the Item details or Abstract and details section (for journal articles).

Note: Items that are Open Access or part of public Shared Collections won't display remote access URLs, because these items are freely available on JSTOR without logging in.
