Subscribing to RRQ and Accessing Online

Reading Research Quarterly is available in print and online, at rates for individuals and institutions. A subscription includes four issues, and online access to archived volumes is available for a supplementary charge. In addition, individual articles from RRQ can be downloaded on a “pay-per-view” basis.

For individuals

Individual subscriptions, which include IRA membership, are available at the prices below (quoted in U.S. dollars).

Choose to receive the journal in print, and online access is included free. Or, you can opt for online only and receive a discount on your subscription. You can also choose to add the RRQ Library option to your subscription, and gain access to all issues of the journal—from volume 1, issue 1, to the present. (Issues from 1996 to the present are available at this site; earlier issues are available through JSTOR.) Online access is available for the duration of your membership year, and includes the journals published during that year.

To access the online journals, simply log in, or click on any link to “full text” on the current or any archived issue table of contents. (To access the RRQ Library, follow the link on the archives page.) You’ll then be prompted to log in with your username and password. Already a subscriber but don’t know your log-in combination? We’ll e-mail it to you! (See our terms of use for more information about online access.)

For those interested in more online access, consider Access IRA. With this membership option, you receive one year of access to all available issues of RRQ, RRQ Library, The Reading Teacher, and the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, all selected articles from these journals, and all selected book chapters. The price is only US$100 with any membership purchase ($60 for students, $50 for those in countries with developing economies).

Institutional subscriptions

For universities, schools, libraries, and other institutions, print subscriptions include six issues of Reading Today. Online subscription access, which is sold separately from print, is based on authentication via Internet protocol address or range, and is renewable annually. Access to back file issues beginning from 1996 is available for a supplementary annual fee. (See our terms of use for more information about online access.)

Purchasing individual articles

Individual journal articles are available for purchase on a pay-per-view basis at a cost of US$8.75 per article ($6.95 for IRA members). Pay-per-view purchasers receive a link to follow to retrieve their purchased article, which can be viewed on screen or downloaded, printed, and saved to your desktop (PDF file).

To purchase an article, simply click on a link to “full text” from the current journal table of contents, from any archived issue, from the selected articles listing, or from any article abstract. You will then see a link to “make this purchase,” which will take you to our secure online store.

Once your purchase transaction is processed, you will receive a link to follow to access the article. The link appears both on the confirmation screen, and in a confirmation e-mail. Articles must be retrieved within 24 hours of purchase.

If you are interested in an article from RRQ that is not available online at this site, visit your local or university library, or contact our customer service department to inquire about purchasing a copy ($20 per article delivered by postal mail or fax).
