BAS categorizes hundreds of thousands of journal articles and chapters in edited volumes going back to 1971. The search makes is easy to find an article if you know what you are looking for.\u00a0 Good enough.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s harder to come across what you weren\u2019t looking for. The most fun way of dealing with the problem is simple: if you have access to a good library\u2019s journal room, stroll up and down the aisles browsing like a deer for acorns. This is good for at least an afternoon and it gets you out of your office but it\u2019s far from systematic and many of us don\u2019t have that access.<\/p>\n<p>So I have been happy in a major way that H-DIPLO has stepped in to organize<a href=\"http:\/\/www.h-net.org\/~diplo\/journals\/\"> Journal Watch: H-Diplo Journal &amp; Periodical Review.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The self-description is \u201cH-Diplo Journal Watch monitors leading scholarly journals for articles of particular interest to scholars of diplomacy, foreign relations, and international history, which are listed below by journal title.&#8221; Each quarter they post a\u00a0 .pdf file with Tables of Contents for every journal you ever heard of in those fields, or at least the ones in English.\u00a0 You can either browse or  search for your words. Coverage begins with the year 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Putting this together can\u2019t be much fun, so kudos goes to our new heroes, Erin Black, editor for journal titles from A-I, and Lubna Qureshi, editor for journal titles from J-Z.<\/p>\n<p>Journal Watch doesn\u2019t solve the problem  \u2013 there\u2019s just too much coming out and there&#8217;s no way to search by key words or topic. But every competent project like this is a big help, and you are sure to find acorns which you would have missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major problem nowadays is to somehow find that newly published article in a journal you don\u2019t subscribe to \u2013 I miss enough articles in the journals I do subscribe to.
