INTRODUCTION

Referencing helps to create a map of knowledge, a web of

pathways in knowledge and helps extends that knowledge. It

means that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It effect,

referencing multiple knowledge exponent. Explore exciting new

content from the world’s leading scientists. Nowadays many

reference materials are found on the internet, and can

compiled a list of links to many of them in "Reference

materials" for student and researchers. Most students and

researchers use dictionaries, journals, science letters,

encyclopedias, magazine, and other reference materials

frequently. Web pages for news papers, magazines and TV

network web pages from various countries on the internet

CONTENT

1) Encyclopedia

A book or set of books containing articles on various topics,

usually in alphabetical arrangement, covering all branches of

knowledge or, less commonly, all aspects of one subject. It is a

type of reference work, a compendium holding a summary of

information from either all branches of knowledge. Internet

encyclopedia is free to access. Free content, Almost anyone

who can access the site can edit almost any of its article. It is

the largest and most popular general reference work. An

encyclopedia is a reference work used to look up information. It

is typically arranged alphabetically according to subject and can

be either a broad-based reference that contains general

information, or a more comprehensive work about a specific

subject. it includes encyclopedia for life science , biology,

human biology, ecology, botany, etc.

2) News letters

Materials Letters is dedicated to publishing novel, cutting edge

reports of broad interest to the materials community. The

journal provides a forum for materials scientists and engineers,

physicists, and chemists to rapidly communicate on the most

important topics in the field of materials. A Letter reports an

important novel research result, but is less substantial than an

Article. Letters typically occupy four printed journal pages. This

format begins with an introductory paragraph (not abstract) of

150 words maximum, summarizing the background, rationale,

main results and implications. This paragraph should be

referenced, as in Nature style, and should be considered part of

the main text, so that any subsequent introductory material

avoids too much repetition of the introductory paragraph. The

text is limited to 2000 words, excluding the introductory

paragraph, Methods, references and figure legends. References

are limited to 30. Letters include received/accepted dates and

may be accompanied by supplementary information. Letters 4

are peer reviewed, and authors must provide a competing

financial interests statement before publication.

3) JOURNALS

The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as

the leading source of primary communication for scientists

investigating the structure and properties. The Journal of

Materials Science publishes reviews, full-length papers, and

short communications recording original research results on, or

techniques for studying the relationship between structure,

properties, and uses of materials. The subjects are seen from

international and interdisciplinary perspectives covering areas

including metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical

materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructure materials,

nanocomposites, and biological and biomedical materials.

Some journals are:-

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

International Journal of Biological Sciences

Journal of Cell Biology

5

Journal of Molecular Biology

Journal of Theoretical Biology

Agronomy for Sustainable Development

Journal of Animal Science

Journal of Soil and Water Conservation

4) Magazine

A science magazine is a periodical publication with news,

opinions and reports about science for a non-expert audience.

A periodical publication for scientific experts, in contrast, is

called a "scientific journal". Science magazines are read by non-

scientists and scientists who want accessible information on

fields outside their specialization.

Some Indian magazine are:-

Education Insider

Current Science

Sandarbh

Science Reporter(magazine)

CONCLUSION

In the field of science, reference materials are very important

because they help us develop a better understanding of the

processes that have shaped, and continue to shape the world

around us. Use appropriate reference materials to support

scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific

investigations of various types such as: systematic observations,

experiments requiring the identification of variables, collecting

and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and

graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend

conclusions.
