Reference Works

When enough information about a research track has been accumulated, it will begin to be integrated into reference books. These will include encyclopedias, both subject (the Encyclopedia of Psychology) and general (the Encyclopedia Britannica). Articles in the Encyclopedia of Psychology will attempt to place important research projects or tracks into a disciplinary perspective, identifying the role each plays, historically and intellectually, in the psychology professions. Articles from the Encyclopedia Britannica will take a broader view, attempting to articulate the impact of the most important research projects on society as a whole.
