Royal Irish Academy journals are now hosted on Project MUSE

The Royal Irish Academy has chosen the Project MUSE platform to host their journals, beginning in 2022. The Academy’s six subscription titles span a wide array of subjects in the humanities and sciences, representing the best of Irish research.

‘The Royal Irish Academy has been publishing since 1787 and I am delighted to be marrying that tradition with Project MUSE’s cutting-edge platform,’ said Ruth Hegarty, Managing Editor of the Royal Irish Academy. ‘MUSE will make our authors easy to find and read. We’re looking forward to bringing our readers to the platform and finding new readers from Project MUSE’s extensive network.’

The journal titles, along with the volume year for which coverage on the MUSE platform will begin, are as follows:

• Biology and Environment: Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy (Vol. 102B, 2002)
• Ériu (Vol. 54, 2004)
• Irish Studies in International Affairs (Vol. 13, 2002)
• Irish Journal of Earth Sciences (Vol. 21, 2003)
• Mathematical Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy (Vol. 102A, 2002)
• Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature (Vol. 102C, 2002)

Content from the six Royal Irish Academy journals, beginning with the volumes indicated above and through current issues, is now available on the MUSE platform. Archival content for the Academy’s journals will continue to be hosted on JSTOR.

Libraries wishing to subscribe or needing to renew subscriptions to the journals may do so via their usual subscription agency, or by emailing jrnlcirc@jhu.edu or via MUSE’s online form (requires creation of a user account).
