Encyclopedia.com is an online encyclopedic database that utilizes information from dozens of credible encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauruses, and other resources to build its content. On the front page, you can view the site’s featured topics, many of which are still being researched today. You can search directly for the topic you want, or you can browse by the first letter of its name. The site is sponsored and powered by HighBeam Research, whose logo can be seen in multiple places. The main page also provides in-depth information on where its research and information is from, including Webster’s New World Dictionary and The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th Edition.

Encyclopedia.com is a useful resource for anyone needing encyclopedic research and information online. Its credible sources mean that it is of professional quality, so you do not need to worry about whether or not it is accurate, as is the case with places like wikipedia.com. It covers even extremely esoteric topics, for trivia fans or people doing research. The site’s audience is predominantly educated, younger, and slightly more female than male, and people who visit the site tend to also go to science and technology websites, other reference websites, like Britannica.com, and university and college websites, like Harvard and Stanford.
