Institutional access is at a flat rate, or rather a bundled flat rate.
($3000 for all content in these collections, another $2000 for those
ones, etc). In this particular example, the article is in the Arts 
Sciences III collection of ~150 journals, which would cost a US
public university from $1,300 to $10,000 per year, depending on size,
as an ongoing expense. This is not to say that institutions don't
sometimes pay for individual articles - I know of some which do,
basically treating JSTOR as an expensive but fast on-demand ILL
service - but that most access is via their subscribed collections.

Discounting these users, Sarah's suggestion that it's never likely to
get used is pretty likely. JSTOR don't make very clear numbers on
pay-per-view articles available, but their published accounts do
confirm that they don't make very much money from it. We have specific
usage figures for one year only, which suggest that less than *0.005%*
of available articles got purchased in that period - and that those
were mostly at the cheapest end of the spectrum (averaging ~$6).

In the UK PhD theses, as submitted, are theoretically free to download 
from EThOS (Electronic Theses Online Service) of the British Museum - as 
I discovered really not very long ago. But I'd like to know more. If the 
PhD is not already digitised, or from an institution that pays for that

 I've never understood how academic publishers view these issues. I
 have friends who had their PhDs published by their university presses

 run, so the price per unit has to be high, but the reason they can
 only print a small number is they've determined in advance that no one
 can afford to buy it.

 So it turns into almost vanity publishing, where the only people who
 buy the books are extended family and friends, and the occasional
 library if you're lucky. In the meantime, the rest of the world is
 effectively locked out of this knowledge. It's an odd mindset for
 educators to have.

I would have been surprised if they had doubled down - they would
pretty obviously have been onto a loser in doing so, and the academic
publishing infrastructure in general is pretty on-the-nose at
present.[1]

If they don't try to sneak in onerous terms of use, it might be worth
WMF saying nice things about the move.

That's an interesting article (not read the other ones yet). I
actually got a job offer from an academic publisher around 11 years
ago (just before Wikipedia started). I sometimes wonder what might
have happened if I'd taken that job instead of the one I took instead.
I'd probably have a different outlook on this whole debate. Though
having done some editing I am sympathetic to the fact that publishing
companies need to make some money to pay those that work for them
(probably through a delayed release after a few years), but clearly
not that much. Having said that, I'm sure I read that a few years ago
there was a big contraction in the journals publishing industry, or am
I imagining that? The whole digitise a back-catalogue or archive and
make money out of it thing is not that uncommon, actually. Museums
and libraries and archives sometimes try and do that as well (with
varying degrees of success). Libraries are another matter again. It
depends whether you are after current issues or older issues. The
former is harder with budget cuts, but the latter (older issues) can
usually be ordered up from somewhere. Online access is more
convenient, but not always necessary. Maybe one day people will be
surprised that books were ever offline and not availble online 24/7
from the moment of publication.

the creation of a free global archive of academic papers?

1929 about female circumcision --

I was relying in part on a paper from 1976 on jstor, for which they
were asking $34.

So the article remains a stub for now. :)

But really, this is extortionate, and it's in no-one else's interests,
because the chances of someone paying $34 for an old article on such

That is indeed the plan, it seems. Post-1870/1922 material will still
be unavailable unless you're at an institution with a subscription to
that specific content, though.

I'm not sure if this applies to content in the general journal

Regardless of how long it will take them, this is exciting news! Thanks 
for sharing, Andrew!

 According to their announcement not all material has been released yet.
 It will be available in stages.

 I was able to access an article in Science from May, 1910 which was quite
 useful. It is footnote 2 in the article, San Luis Valley

 The second two links work for guest users; the first requires
 institutional subscription. Looks like pamphlets must not be included
 for whatever reason.

 That is indeed the plan, it seems. Post-1870/1922 material will still
 be unavailable unless you're at an institution with a subscription to
 that specific content, though.

 I'm not sure if this applies to content in the general journal
 collections only, or if it also covers things like the 19th Century
 Pamphlets Collection - I suppose the way to find out is to test!

 http://www.jstor.org/stable/60100683 is an 1828 pamphlet defending
 medical dissection from the Pamphlets Collection.
 http://www.jstor.org/stable/25497782 is an 1868 paper on Ogham from
 the Ireland Collection.
 http://www.jstor.org/stable/25665642 is an 1868 paper on Hegelianism
 from one of the general collections.

 If you can read all three without a login or without being on a
 network belonging to a member, it's worked :-)
