Harvard Educational Review will be moving to a new platform in November 2025. On the new HighWire platform, we will no longer require PSI Org IDs from The IP Registry. Going forward, IP ranges will be used to grant institutional access to HER.
Subscription tiers for 2026 reflect the move to digital only and our investment in improvements to the journal. A notable change is the inclusion of multi-site coverage for campuses with multiple locations under central administration.
