- JSTOR This link opens in a new windowProvides citations, abstracts, and full text to articles from the back issues of core journals in accounting.
Working with publishers, JSTOR creates a "moving wall" of coverage for each journal. "The moving wall is a fixed period of time ranging, in most cases, from 2 to 5 years, that defines the gap between the most recently published issue and the date of the most recent issues available in JSTOR." Therefore, the most current article available through JSTOR is usually 2-5 years old. - Wall Street Journal via ProQuest This link opens in a new window
