Encyclopedias: a useful place to start any research
Encyclopedias are designed to give researchers a good overview of the important elements of a topic. They are a great starting point. While we all use Wikipedia, you should also consult "authored", "published" encyclopedias when you do research. These encyclopedias can be more reliable and credible. They are also written for specific audiences based on the type of research being done.
Britannica School is an encyclopedia that is designed for use by students doing school projects. This means that they write in a readable, understandable way, and provide information, images, links, and media that are useful for your assignments.
