Academic Library
Welcome to the Library
Our online Academic Library is a unique and invaluable resource for researchers, academics, and policymakers around the world. It is the only centralized digital resource in existence to include 500+ peer-reviewed articles published since the early 2000s about the harms of pornography.
If you’re aware of research that should be added to our library, please let us know.
(While the Academic Library of Culture Reframed is a free resource, we request that nonprofit organizations, commercial firms, and other entities kindly acknowledge its use in public presentations, websites, and print and online materials. Thank you.)
Browse the library
The library is organized into two main topics or sections: Child & Youth Development, and Adults & Broader Impacts. Each section contains specific topics or categories. There are two main ways to use the library – browsing and searching.
- You can browse the entire library below, or narrow your browsing using the drop-down menus for topics and categories.
- You can search for articles using hashtags, keyword terms, and date of publication as discussed further in Finding Research Articles.
The library is an ongoing work-in-progress. We regularly add new articles and research reports. If you wish to submit published articles, reports, or other documents for our consideration, please use the Research Submission Form.
