Journal articles are the cutting edge of academic dialogue about their given subject. They are a useful and necessary resource for nearly all academic research papers.
Articles from academic journals today are indexed in databases. This means we can go to a database, search by keyword, and find related articles from a broad range of journals indexed within that database. Often, we can then download the full-text article directly from the database.
BU subscribes to over 500 databases, ranging from general academic databases (ex: JSTOR) to subject databases in everything from art to medicine to sociology. Visit our STH Library Databases page for a specially curated list of religion- and theology-related databases you can search through BU.
