Project Muse is an online database of current and back issues of more than 400 scholarly journals from nearly 100 nonprofit publishers. The journals are "peer-reviewed", which means that editors and editorial boards evaluate the quality of every proposed article before they publish it. Project Muse is sponsored by John Hopkins University Press, which opened the system in 1995 with support from the Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Many academic libraries subscribe; their users get immediate access to the full text of the articles in HTML or PDF. Unlike JSTOR, which blocks access to the most recent articles, Project Muse has no blackouts.
