MSP

In pur­suit of our mis­sion, start­ing with the 2021 sea­son we of­fer free elec­tron­ic sub­scrip­tions to MSP-owned journ­als for ac­cred­ited His­tor­ic­ally Black Col­leges and Uni­versit­ies in the United States.

In con­sid­er­a­tion of the ef­fects of the COV­ID-19 pan­dem­ic, MSP is pleased to an­nounce that we can keep sub­scrip­tion prices for 2021 con­stant from 2020. Thank you for sup­port­ing schol­ar-led non­profit pub­lish­ing.

MSP signed a new agree­ment with EIFL that provides free ac­cess to MSP’s journ­als, open to lib­rar­ies in these 29 coun­tries: Al­bania, Ar­menia, Congo (Demo­crat­ic Re­pub­lic), Ethiopia, Fiji, Geor­gia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyz­stan, Laos, Leso­tho, Malawi, Mal­dives, Mol­dova, My­an­mar, Nam­i­bia, Nepal, North Mace­do­nia, Palestine, Seneg­al, Su­dan, Tan­zania, Ukraine, Uganda, Uzbek­istan, Zam­bia, Zi­m­b­ab­we.

In­ter­ested lib­rar­ies should com­plete the li­cence ac­cept­ance form which they can ob­tain from the EIFL Li­cens­ing Co­ordin­at­or in their coun­try. Elec­tron­ic In­form­a­tion for Lib­rar­ies (EIFL) is a not-for-profit or­gan­iz­a­tion that works with lib­rar­ies to en­able ac­cess to know­ledge in de­vel­op­ing and trans­ition eco­nomy coun­tries in Africa, Asia Pa­cific, Europe and Lat­in Amer­ica.

You can use this sub­scrip­tions or­der form to pro­duce a filled-out form that you can print and mail to us with your pay­ment. Our journ­als are, of course, also avail­able through EB­SCO and oth­er sub­scrip­tion agents.

For sub­scrip­tions from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ma­cau, and In­dia, please do not con­tact MSP dir­ectly, but rather the ex­clus­ive agents lis­ted on this page. For sub­scrip­tions from coun­tries oth­er than the ones lis­ted above, please con­tact only MSP dir­ectly.

Elec­tron­ic ac­cess to past is­sues of a journ­al is in­cluded with every sub­scrip­tion to that journ­al, as long as a sub­scrip­tion is main­tained. Per­petu­al ac­cess is avail­able through the Glob­al LOCKSS Net­work.

Sub­scribers are asked to sign MSP’s Elec­tron­ic Journ­al Li­cense Agree­ment upon ini­ti­at­ing their sub­scrip­tion. After it is ini­tially signed, the EJLA will re­main in ef­fect as long as sub­scrip­tion fees are paid for at least one journ­al, un­less ter­min­ated in the man­ner provided in the EJLA. In oth­er words, a sub­scriber may need to sign the EJLA only once, as long as a sub­scrip­tion is main­tained from year to year.

We do not of­fer print-only sub­scrip­tions, only elec­tron­ic and elec­tron­ic+print. Sub­scrip­tions are offered for the cal­en­dar year only. Elec­tron­ic ac­cess al­lowed based on sub­mit­ted IP-ad­dress range. Sep­ar­ate cam­puses of an in­sti­tu­tion that are not with­in the same city or geo­graph­ic­ally close must be covered by sep­ar­ate sub­scrip­tions, or might be eli­gible for con­sor­ti­um pri­cing, at MSP’s dis­cre­tion.
