Reference/Overview Sources

Start your research with encyclopedias and subject-specific dictionaries. 

• for confirming/enhancing your understanding of a specific topic, concept, term or theory
• often include bibliographies, suggest related topics and/or keywords to search with 

Companions and Handbooks feature fuller in-depth articles on topics, and often constitute anthologies on a broad topic (chapters by various scholarly authors on an aspects related to that topic) Those fuller chapters would be suitable as one of your scholarly sources for reference and citation. In contrast, subject-specific dictionaries and a few other reference (e)books provide short yet reliable/accurate definitions (less than 1000 words would not be suitable as one of your required scholarly sources).
