As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, and with suggestions from our editors, we've selected 50 influential articles
published by the Journals division of the MIT Press. Each of these select articles will be freely available through the end of 2012. [NOTE 01/02/2013: The articles in this collection have now been restored to their original access statuses.]

This collection by no means implies that there are not additional articles of greatness that were published by the MIT Press.
There have been over 80 journals since 1969 that have borne the MIT Press colophon. However, some of these we do not own
the rights to, and so have been unable to provide any content to the public.

The articles are housed here on mitpressjournals.org unless otherwise noted. Our thanks to the kind folks at JSTOR, who
have freed up the article selections that reside only there.

Articles are listed chronologically and are colored by discipline:

            
 Arts & Humanities

 Economics

 International Affairs, History, and Political Science    

 Science & Technology
