Oxford Research Encyclopedias (OREs) are digital Encyclopedias for advanced scientists, researchers, scholars and students composed of peer-reviewed overview articles that map the entirety of a field of study. OREs offer long-form overview articles written, peer-reviewed, and edited by leading scholars of the topic. Multi-media features are embedded in the articles, along with cross-referenced links to related content.
