Search JSTOR's resources

JStor provides access to a variety of scholarly journals as well as pamphlets. 

If you find a particular journal is relevant to your topic you can USE BOOLEAN SEARCHING (AND, OR, NOT) to look for your topic within that journal. Just follow these steps:

1. Put your topic word or phrase in parentheses ex: (Egypt)
2. Add the BOOLEAN OPERATOR "AND"
3. Type "pt:(xxx)" where xxx is the Journal you'd like to search. ex: pt:(world policy journal)
4. The phrase in the search box would then look like this:

(topic) AND pt:(Journal name)
ex: (Egypt) AND pt:(world policy journal)

With EBSCO databases, like Academic Search Elite, you can limit search results by publication title which can help narrow your search.

Here are a few journals that might be worth investigating.

• American Indian Quarterly
• The American Political Science Review
• Foreign Policy
• Journal of Black Studies
• The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era
• Studies in American Humor
• World Policy Journal

Remember, you should NOT PURCHASE any articles, if you cannot access something, please contact Ms. Covintree and we will work to find you access.

You'll need a username and password, so be sure to create these while on a school computer so you can still have access to JSTOR resources when off campus.
