(26 Feb 2025) Project MUSE is delighted to announce a major achievement in its quest to advance open access. Thanks to the unwavering support of libraries and institutions worldwide, MUSE’s Subscribe to Open (S2O) initiative has reached its sustainability goal for 2025. This remarkable accomplishment will make more than 100 journals’ 2025 volumes, from 27 publishers, openly accessible on the MUSE platform.
This success reflects a collective commitment to ensuring that vital humanities and social sciences scholarship is accessible to everyone, free from paywalls. The S2O model, rooted in equity and collaboration, allows subscription journals to annually transition to open access without relying on Article Processing Charges (APCs). By leveraging MUSE’s long-standing journal collections model, this initiative represents a sustainable approach to broadening access to essential scholarly works.
