Sustainability Resources on JSTOR: Using JSTOR

• Search for an exact phrase by enclosing it in quotation marks: "to be or not to be"
• Use "Advanced Search" to limit searches by publication dates, type of content, and fields such as author and caption title.
• From an article page, select  to  copy and paste the citation in Chicago, MLA, or APA style.
• Off campus? Use the Institution Finder to find your school and log in.
• Publication dates on JSTOR range from 1665 to the present, but not all titles have current issues on JSTOR. Consult with a librarian if you don't find what you need.

• Is all journal content on JSTOR peer reviewed? Nearly all of the journals collected in JSTOR are peer-reviewed publications, but the archives also contain primary sources and content that is much older than today's standard peer-review process. 
• Why can't I access the full-text of all content on JSTOR? Libraries can select different collections on JSTOR, and your library may not subscribe to all collections. Contact your librarian for more information.
• What is the "moving wall?" Much of the journal content on JSTOR has a "moving wall," a set period of time (usually three to five years) between a journal issue’s publication date and its availability as archival content on JSTOR. 

Text Analyzer is a new way to search JSTOR. It uses an algorithm to analyze a text you've uploaded and identify the topics covered in the text, and then finds content on JSTOR that covers the same topics. As part of this process, Text Analyzer identifies important keywords and subjects associated with the search results and allows you to use these to refine your search. Text Analyzer helps you to:

• explore new topics

• find better keywords

• find things that were missed through traditional searches
