Environmental Sustainability & Climate Change Studies: Environment, Climate, and Society

Ejournals on Environment & Society

These scholarly ejournals focus on the relationship between people and their environment. This list is useful for browsing, but you should turn to article-index databases to identify journal articles on specific topics.

Bibliographies, Guides to the Literature, Lit Reviews

Bibliographies are lists of works organized around a topic, while guides to the literature are systematic introductions to the literature of a field.

Literature reviews are a handy way to get quickly into the scholarly literature. A typical literature-review article will provide a narrative that identifies and describes dozens of journal articles and books.

Handbooks

Handbooks generally offer chapters on specific aspects of a topic. As a collection of essays, the handbook's chapters should provide a broad overview of the state of research; individually, chapters may be narrowly focused.
