- ↑ I analyzed all the IDs at https://www.jstor.org/publishers, and found that all IDs are limited to the following set of characters:
-1357CDGILNPSU_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. IDs can be as short as 2 characters (e.g. dv) or as long as 24 characters (e.g. britassocbiolanthroosteo). IDs appear to be case-sensitive (e.g. IPCS works but ipcs does not), so we must allow uppercase letters. - ↑ Based on number of matches for CSS selector

Motivation edit
JSTOR is a major source of scholarly articles cited frequently on Wikimedia projects. This property could potentially be used to autofill the publisher (P123) property for articles/journals stored on JSTOR. If you check out a few example pages for JSTOR article ID (P888) and JSTOR journal ID (P1230) (e.g. example journal, example article), you'll see that JSTOR includes a prominent link to the publishers of each of those articles, which could easily be scraped.
