Everything about Encyclopedia Article totally explained
In an
Encyclopedia an
Encyclopedia article is a unit of writing on a particular
topic. Each encyclopedia
article has an
article name, and this is usually used as at least one way to locate the article within the encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles are intended to
define the topic and cover all the informative and interesting points on the topic.
Structure
The exact structure of an encyclopedia article will vary from encyclopedia to encyclopedia, but there are many common themes.
Articles are given an
article name which heads up the article and after this there will very typically be an
introduction section that defines the subject that the article covers, while differentiating it from any other, similar topics. There will usually be one or more main sections the describes the subject in more detail and this will be followed by a
references section and frequently a
bibliography section.
Style
The style of the article is very typically formal, with an impersonal, objective style, sometimes called
encyclopedic.
Content
Unlike a dictionary, in which each entry gives multiple definitions for a single
word an encyclopedia article is on a single
subject.
The article is usually well referenced and is itself
non-fiction, but may be on a fictional subject from a
literary work.
The general aim of an article is cover everything there's to know on a subject, albeit perhaps in summary form. Where there's a debate on some points, the article tries to cover the debate, rather than participate.
Encyclopedia articles often have pronunciation guides and diagrams.
Online and computer-based encyclopedia articles may have movies, audio clips and other types of media.
Uses
Encyclopedia articles are read by people trying to gain a basic understanding of some topic, and sometimes as an initial jumping off point into further research.
It is, however, rarely considered a good idea to refer to Encyclopedia articles themselves in academic scenarios as reference sources.
