- JSTOR This link opens in a new window
This database provides full text access to the back issues of core scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Book reviews are included as well as journal articles. Abstracts are available for some of the articles.
To copy the permalink link for a JSTOR resource, open the article you wish to link and right click and copy the DOI link.
NOTE: Please check to make sure this link is proxied. The URL should have https://doi-org.ezproxy.bu.edu at the beginning (example: https://doi-org.ezproxy.bu.edu/10.2307/811531), meaning that students will be prompted to log into BU Libraries to access JSTOR. If the URL does not have this proxy prefix, off-campus students or students using a VPN will not be able to access the article.
To make a proxied URL:
If the DOI link does not have the ezproxy component, you can make your own proxied link by adding https://ezproxy.bu.edu/login?url= to the beginning of the stable URL, which can be copied from next to the DOI link, and add the proxy prefix to the beginning of the stable URL. It is important to test the link to ensure that it works as intended prior to sharing with students.
Example:
Stable URL: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24769424
Proxied Permalink: https://ezproxy.bu.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24769424
