Read more about how in our article: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201020080844/https://support.jstor.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007226454-NEW-My-Workspace-for-Organizing-Research">My Workspace for Organizing Research.</a></em></p> <h2><a name="howtofind"></a>How to Find Articles You've Read in the Past:</h2> <p>You read an article, and now you need to reference it again. There is a record of the articles you have read under the "<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201020080844/https://www.jstor.org/myjstor/read-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Free Article Views</a>" section of your personal account. (Make sure that you're <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201020080844/https://www.jstor.org/action/showLogin" target="_self">logged in</a> to be able to see this section. You can confirm that you're logged in if you see your name in the top right corner of the page).</p> <p>To find your articles, hover over or click on your name, and select "Free Article Views" from the menu that opens.</p> <p>You can also click "Free Article Views" on the left side of the screen if you are in your profile view: </p> <figure><img src="/web/20201020080844im_/https://support.jstor.org/hc/article_attachments/360048305433/Free_Article_Views.png" alt="Free Article Views screen, user dropdown menu also shows Free Article Views as a selection"/></figure> <p>You will be redirected to your "Free Article Views" page, where you will be able to click on the article titles you've selected to read them again. </p> <p>Note that under "Free Article Views," you can see how long it will be until your 6 article reads reset. You can read 6 articles every 30 days (Note that <span>from now through December 31, 2020, we are increasing the number of articles you can read online for free from 6 to 100). </span>From the first time you click "Read Online" to read an article, you have 30 days to use the remaining 5 article reads before the counter resets and you can read 6 more articles. In other words, if you read your first article on April 15th, your 30 day period begins, and will reset on May 15th. If you read another article within the same period, say on April 30th, your reset counter is not affected--your counter will still reset on May 15th, and you have until then to read your remaining articles.</p> <h2><a name="viewexpire"></a>What happens when your countdown ends/How can I remove articles?</h2> <p>While it is not possible to "remove" items from your "Free Article Views" until your 30 days count resets, after 30 days, you can then read another 6 articles for free within a new period (Note that <span>from now through December 31, 2020, we are increasing the number of articles you can read online for free from 6 to 100).</span></p> <p>Afraid of losing your research? Fear not: when the 30 days is up, all of the articles you have read online will move to "Previously viewed articles" on the same "Free Article Views" page so that you don't lose your research. If you want to read the same article again, you can click on that article, then use another view for that new period.</p></div> </div> </section> <footer> <div class="article-footer"> <div

It looks like you already have a free account with JSTOR, which is great! That's the first step to being able to see content for free.

If is has a "read online" button next to the title, click that, and you'll be able to read the article online. To turn the page, click the right arrow button that appears to the right of the article text.</p> <p>Note that not ALL articles on JSTOR participate in the free program.
