Encyclopedia / Dictionary

According to Turabian, major dictionaries and encyclopedias should be cited only in notes, unless it is crucial to your argument. Here both entries are provided for your convenience.

Since there are many variations in bibliographical conventions between different disciplines, some courses may require articles within specific subject encyclopedias/dictionaries to be treated as "Chapters and Other Titled Parts of a Book" - use Book entry from "Choose citation type" above if that is the case. Examples of specific subject encyclopedias/dictionaries include Kittel in theology, Norton in music, etc. Check with your professor for details.
