Journals Membership
Journal Membership
If you have an interest in Fair Trade, Disability and Social Justice or Political Economy you’ll be pleased to hear these Journals launched their own Membership schemes. People with a shared enthusiasm for the subject can now read all articles without charge. Since all Pluto Journals titles switched to Open Access in January 2021 this means individuals can freely read or download any PJ article across the world. This has given our Journals new opportunities to reach a much wider public.
These 3 Pluto Journal titles are offering membership packages to the public and to interested organisations. The purpose is to build a community, which these journals already have started, which will support and participate in the future of both the journal and of its associated Society/ Community activities. Membership benefits and being part of the journals associated Community are key. We encourage you to choose between the offered membership categories which are for students, people in paid work and institutional. Each category offers membership benefits as part of joining.
If you are a library who is interested in supporting our journals Open Access status please see our Open Access S2O page specifically for University Libraries here.
