Oxford Handbooks Online Added to BCR Reference Resources
BCR members now have access to a wide array of online information resources drawn from the prestigious Oxford Handbooks series in four subject modules – Business & Management, Philosophy, Political Science and Religion.
Available for the first time as an online collection, each handbook takes an aspect of its discipline and unpacks it, explaining the key issues, the classic and contemporary debates on those issues and setting the agenda for how those debates might evolve. The handbooks offer authoritative and trustworthy guides to the scholarship that defines each field and are a valuable resource for both researchers and teachers.
Features found in each collection include:
- Complete text of 65 Oxford Handbooks in four subject areas: Business & Management, Political Science, Philosophy, Religion.
- More than 2,000 original essays by internationally renowned scholars.
- Comprehensive structure with each handbook having a homepage with abstracts and keywords and full bibliographic information. Each homepage also contains onward links to related content.
- Scholarly accreditation – All Oxford Handbooks are extensively peer-reviewed and approved for publication by a board of leading academics from Oxford University.
- Fully cross-searchable with Oxford Scholarship Online.
- Plus, other benefits such as quick search, sort results and advance search options; bibliography search and extensive cross-references; DOIs and static URLs; ability to export citations automatically to ProCite, EndNote, RefWorks and ReferenceManager; editorially created links that support research connections to support information in Dictionary of National Biography, American National Biography and other works by the same author in Oxford Journals and Oxford Scholarship Online.
The Oxford Handbooks Online are available on a subscription basis and/or for purchase. BCR’s Chris Cook (ccook@bcr.org) can assist with subscription and pricing details.
