Reference Works

Foundational knowledge that keeps pace with discovery

A Springer Nature Reference is a great place to begin any topic-based research, whether readers are new to the subject, specialists or working across disciplines. Reference Works content is internationally commissioned and developed by eminent scholars and scientists in all fields, including Nobel Prize winners, as editors. References clearly present established academic concepts, providing researchers with a foundation of knowledge on which to build. Each reference entry links to the primary and secondary sources so, researchers can follow the information trail and continue to develop their understanding.
