How do I access my AERA journals online?

Effective January 1, 2022, AERA members receive online access to all AERA journals without cost, as a member benefit. Members may purchase print subscriptions of the journals for an additional $20.00 per journal subscription. If you would like to receive a print subscription for any of our journals, our Membership team can assist.

To access all of our journals online, please follow these steps:

• Please log in to your account on https://www.aera.net/
• Then, navigate to “My AERA” on the top right-hand side of the page

• From there, please scroll to the Publications section in the middle of the page. You will see links to each of the journals, and these links will take you directly to the ungated content.

Alternatively:
1. Please visit www.aera.net. 
2. Select “Publications” at the top, then “Journals” on the left-hand side. 
3. Select the appropriate journal. 
4. Select the journal’s “Online” link and log in to view content. 

To activate your account on the new SAGE Journals platform, please follow the instructions below:

Journals in JSTOR have "moving walls" that define the time lag between the most current issue published and the content available in JSTOR. AERA journals have a three-year moving wall that shifts each January when new issues are posted.
 

How do I purchase an eBook? What is the online reading format?

eBooks are available through AERA’s eBook website, ebooks.aera.net. Discounts are available for AERA members; coupon codes are listed in the "My AERA" member portal on the main AERA website (www.aera.net).
 
Please note: You do not need to log into the ebooks.aera.net site with your AERA membership information before making a purchase on the eBooks website. Because the eBooks website is a separate site, an account will be created for you during checkout with credentials that differ from your AERA membership username/password.

The single-user online eBook format allows immediate access to your content anywhere, anytime, and on all of your favorite devices, with no software to download. The browser-based eReader allows immediate access to your eBook on Internet-enabled devices including tablets, smartphones, desktop computers, and laptops. You can also access your eBook offline. The online eBook format includes a linked table of contents and bookmarking; in-text and marginal note-taking features; a highlighter for text, graphs, and images; a keyword search tool; a note and bookmark organizer; a pen tool; a built-in dictionary; flashcard and personalized study guide creation; and collaboration and note sharing options. For more information, please see the eBook FAQ page.

Additional Information:

AERA’s Online Paper Repository is an open access clearinghouse, with abstracts, of scientific presentations given at AERA annual meetings since 2010. More than half include full-text papers voluntarily contributed to the repository by annual meeting presenters. AERA encourages all presenters to make their full-text papers available in the repository as a way to distribute their research more broadly. AERA does not publish conference proceedings.
