Encyclopedias

About the Collection

The largest of IGI Global’s edited publication formats, Encyclopedias are between 3 to 10 volumes and contain a high volume of concise, abbreviated articles that offer critical perspectives on current issues and controversies, as well as provide prospective solutions and future directions in the field. Containing expansive knowledge focused on a particular discipline or topic area, these all-encompassing titles are contributed to by hundreds of international authors and include original articles that contain charts, graphs, tables, and formulae, as well as key terms and their definitions. An exhaustive list of references, as well as additional reading sections consisting of sources that complement the topical coverage within the article, are also provided for the benefit of scholars, students, and researchers looking to improve upon their own research.

Due to their extensive size and coverage, Encyclopedias are intended for academic, medical, corporate, and joint-use libraries that are looking to acquire all-inclusive content on a particular topic or research methodology. These comprehensive publications are essential additions to library collections and are valued foundations for faculty and student research.
