ProjectMuse has full-text scholarly articles from many journals in the humanities.
JSTOR has full-text scholarly articles from journals in many disciplines.
JSTOR provides access to more than 12 million academic journal articles, books, primary sources, and high-quality images. It has an archive of more than 1,000 scholarly, interdisciplinary journals, with full coverage for all but the most current 3-5 years. Images are contributed by universities, museums, and community and private collections. JSTOR is full-text searchable, offers search term highlighting, and is interlinked by millions of citations and references.
If you are working with a book published recently, you will probably not be able to find peer-reviewed or scholarly articles about it; the publication cycle in the humanities takes many months or possibly even years.
If you have difficulty finding an article about your book, look for articles about the theme or focus in question as it relates to other works of fiction. For example, if you are researching The Hunger Games, you could look for articles about violence or dystopian or apocalyptic futures in other books. Consider how these readings or interpretations help to illuminate The Hunger Games.
