Moving Wall

Moving Wall: 5 years (What is the moving wall?)

Moving Wall

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been combined with another title.

"Palimony": The Impact of Marvin v. Marvin

Abstract

"Palimony" is a term created by the media. It was used to refer to the alimony-like award given to Michelle Marvin to help her for rehabilitation purposes. Its purpose was to provide her the economic means to re-educate herself and to learn employable skills or refurbish those used in her most recent employment. The case and survey methods were used to analyze the Marvin decisions and other cases involving unmarried cohabiting couples. The prevalence of nonmarital relationships in modern society and their social acceptance indicate a change in the mores of society with implications for family practitioners.
