Some databases, especially JSTOR, include book chapters as well as scholarly journal articles. Both are valuable peer-reviewed academic sources.
- Journal articles are published in scholarly journals, most of which release new issues several times a year. Pay attention to the title of the journal to learn about the topics and themes covered in that publication.
- Book chapters are one section of a larger book, which may all be written by one author, or each chapter may have a different author. All the chapters in a book work together to make a wider argument. Look at the book's introduction and table of contents to see how a chapter you found fits with the broader topics in the book.
