JSTOR is a digital library that provides access to academic journals, books, and primary sources across a wide range of disciplines. It is known for its extensive collection of scholarly articles in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, including fields like history, literature, sociology, economics, and more. The database includes back issues of thousands of journals, often reaching back to their first published issues, making it a valuable resource for historical research. While most content is peer-reviewed and of high academic quality, JSTOR also offers access to research reports, conference papers, and select current issues through partnerships with publishers. It is commonly used by students, researchers, and educators for accessing in-depth, scholarly information for academic work.
JSTOR contains content that has been carefully selected by experts, including librarians and educators.
