How to Use JSTOR

The new JSTOR interactive research tool empowers you to deepen and expand your research with JSTOR’s trusted corpus. Developed in collaboration with our community, this tool leverages AI and other advanced technologies to help you elevate your research, teaching, and learning.

If enabled, this beta feature will appear on the item page for journal articles, book chapters, and research reports, and as a search option in addition to JSTOR’s standard keyword search. Use the research tool to evaluate and explore content, or find related content.

The tool is in active development so new features and improvements are frequently added.

For more information on how the tool is powered and JSTOR’s approach to generative AI, check out our FAQs. JSTOR support has information on working with the tool and using the Q&A feature. For more help with the tool and a preview, check out our video demo.

About

Workspace is a tool to organize your research for articles and book chapters you want to work with later. Within the space, group your citations using folders for different topics and projects, or just save items to the space. You can add notes on your items, delete, and move items to and from folders plus export any citation from your workspace when you’re logged in.

Get started

The "Save" button appears on the search results page and on the individual article, book chapter, and pamphlet pages. Select "Save," then go to your workspace by clicking the button again, or continue making selections. Citations you've already saved will be indicated by "Saved" wherever they appear on JSTOR.

Citations stored within a JSTOR account can be accessed at any time from the Workspace menu. The citing and export options available from the lists are the same options that appear on search results, item view pages, and Tables of Contents pages.

In Workspace you can:

• add descriptions and notes to your folders
• add descriptions, notes, and links to your individual citations
• move items around from folder to folder, or from a folder back to your general workspace
• add sublevel folders, to better organize your work
