Basic Research Collection

The Basic Research Collection is a more limited subset of the Premium Collection than the Standard Collection. It is an interdisciplinary collection designed for institutions acquiring extensively in the humanities and social sciences. The Basic Research Collection is a fundamental collection of interdisciplinary journals that grows modestly in size and price from year to year. Titles added to this collection are chosen based on a number of criteria, including the journal's presence in appropriate high quality indexes, inclusion in archival collections, and current usage in MUSE. The controlled number of journals, modest growth and modest price increases make the Basic Research Collection an appropriate collection for institutions with limited budgets.

The following journal titles are included in the Project MUSE Basic Research Collection.

Use the Collection Comparison Chart to see at a glance which journals are included in each of the six MUSE collections. For pricing information, see the Collections, Titles, and Pricing page for links to pricing charts by type of library.
