Dictionaries Specialized dictionaries define terms, concepts, and jargon used in a particular field or subject, sometimes in extended entries. These sets, organized alphabetically, contain authoritative information on a variety of subjects in political science. The overviews they present will help you discover, develop, and narrow topics for research papers. Yearbooks are annual publications of facts and information about the preceding year, limited to a specific subject, country, or organization. They usually include subject, author, and sometimes title headings to promote a variety of search strategies.
