How to find a specific journal:
If you want to look for a specific journal, book, or research report, there's an easy way to find exactly what you need on the Browse page.
- At the top of any JSTOR page, you'll see the "browse" menu in the upper left hand corner.
- Go to Browse> By Title.
- This will take you to a table that lists everything we have alphabetically.
- On this table there are three tabs: Journals, Books, and Research Reports. Choose the tab for the type of source you want.
How to search within a specific journal or book:
If you're looking for a specific search term within a specific journal or book, use the Advanced Search:
- Go to the Advanced Search
- Make sure you enter at least one search term in the top fields
- Scroll down below the "Narrow By" text
- Enter the book or journal title in the Journal or Book Title field or, for books, you can enter the ISBN in the ISBN field
- Scroll back up to select "Search"
- The results you see will contain your search term within the journal or book that you specified

Non-generalisability
Hi Raziza642! If you are wanting to do a search on "non-generalisability," you can enter your keyterm in the main search box on jstor.org. But, if you need some technical support, email us at support@jstor.org and we'll be glad to help you.
The searching within an article just didn't work?
Like I tested it by searching things that I knew were in a certain article and it still said 0 results.
Hi Thalia! I'm not sure what you mean by "search within article"--we don't have exactly that feature on the platform, but we do have search within journal or book. I'll follow up with you via email to make sure you're finding what you need.
