proceedings, chapters in books, reports and reviews. This are also
known as Index and Abstract. It will provide citations (the source
of the article), abstracts (brief descriptions of the article’s

articles from databases summarize the current state of research
on a subject by organizing, synthesizing, and critically evaluating
the relevant literature written for specialists. The bibliography
in a review article is usually exhaustive.
- Methods for scientific laboratory
investigations - also known as Protocols. These are manuals
are known for their scope and reliability in providing resources for
new as well as tried-and-true methods.
- Encyclopedias & Dictionaries
are a collection of informational articles on any given subject.
- Handbooks provide find formulae, definitions
and or often used as a starting point when researching an unfamiliar
field.
