JSTOR search tips
- Enter your keywords into the boxes. If you use a phrase, add “quotation marks” around the words. (Example: “environmental impact”).
- If you want to look for journal articles look for the heading Narrow By and check the box next to Articles.
- (optional) If you want to make sure you only see results published in journals from a particular discipline scroll down to the heading JOURNAL FILTER and check a box next to a discipline listed under NARROW BY DISCIPLINE AND/OR JOURNAL.
- If you want primary sources, use the date range option to limit your search to only items published during the time period you are researching.
If you still have questions you can chat in real-time with a librarian here.
