JSTOR (short for Journal Storage) is a journal archive which holds the complete digitized backfiles of core scholarly journals. JSTOR covers most academic disciplines, particulary in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Looking for scholarly articles? All of the articles in JSTOR are scholarly articles, so you know you're getting high-quality information.

JSTOR also offers two separate databases in addition to its main database: JTOR Plant Science and Data for Research.
JSTOR Plant Science provides access to foundational content vital to plant science: plant type specimens, taxonomic structures, scientific literature, and related materials. Aside from botanists and those dedicated to the plant sciences, JSTOR Plant Science is especially useful for Ecologists, Conservationists, Environmental scientists, Historians, Pharmacologists, Biologists, and Geneticists.
Data for Research provides a set of web-based tools for selecting and interacting with content from the JSTOR archive. Features include: full-text and fielded searching of the entire JSTOR archive; online viewing of document-level data including word frequencies, citations, key terms, and ngrams; searching for articles in multiple languages.
