Depends on what you want. You can get by quite well in the humanities with books, but STEM-fags rely on articles too, or so I heard.

Many sources aren't books, and I still don't know how to track them fown exactly. Things like census data, or historical weather records.

>>13133 (OP)

on what subject?

for example this article is relevant to my interests…

is it the same for you?

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4387115,00.html

I was thinking in general but my interests are in: the environment, vegetarianism, botany, horticulture, chemistry, American history/civil government/economics, modern geography, men's health/physiology, chess, late antiquity and early medieval studies, the Latin language, ancient philosophy/mythology/ethics/logic, science fiction, comic books, handwriting, grammar/spelling/punctuation, Bible study/theology, geometry/arithmetic/statistics, drawing, music theory and the kinnor instrument, and social improvement/public speaking.

I'll mention what I'm looking for: a source of contemporary journals/articles/papers on Ancient Rome/Greece.

i can't help you, since almost everything i can come up with is books.

not joking but you know where you can find PDFs, articles, papers, Wikibooks, etc?

discussing said subjects on the chans, maybe in the proper board, or OTI in general

Most of that will probably be books. The social sciences are still the domain of the large treatises, not so much of articles. The exception is perhaps law, because of its fragmentary nature (at least nowadays). Even in economics and sociology, on the other hand, the best stuff is still to be found in the treatises. There are some exceptions, like the economist Peter Bowbrick, who is absolutely essential reading on famines in my humble opinion but who mostly published articles, but by and large, I still believe in the treatises.

So there absolutely no publications for humanities/classics at all?

>>13161

Classics, maybe. Humanities, sure. There are a lot of worthwhile essays and articles, I just don't think they're essential like in STEM.

Not sure why I saged.
