If you’re not finding enough relevant content: • Try searching for alternate terms, and alternate spellings. • Your topic may be too recent – the published research may not yet be available on JSTOR. • Your topic may be in a discipline not as deeply covered by JSTOR (hard sciences, medicine, for example).
