As citation indexes, Scopus and Web of Science track how often papers are cited, and it is through this citation analysis that you can find new articles of interest from the sources you've already found.

One good article provides you with a list of references as well as the cited-by list, which are newer articles that cite the one you have. This method of backward and forward searching will bring you articles on the subject you need that you might not have found through a keyword search.

Please note: Web of Science includes a wider collection of books and journals in the humanities field than Scopus does, but it can still be worth checking both.
