ABC-CLIO/Greenwood publishes more than 100 titles each year with the goal of improving research and understanding by making reference content more engaging and accessible. The company strives to provide content with direct relevance to researchers.

ABC-CLIO/Greenwood titles go beyond surface-level knowledge or what you might find in an encyclopedia. We publish new reference material that provides deeper understanding and analysis and promotes the development of critical thinking skills.

Publishing Board and Balanced Scholarship — We take the responsibility of producing quality reference books very seriously. Our team of expert authors and editors ensures that our coverage is both authoritative and comprehensive.

Engaging and Inspiring Users — With so much information now available instantaneously via the Internet and portable devices, it’s not a challenge to search for reference material. However, our editors know that compelling details from reliable sources can pull readers further into topics while inciting interest and encouraging critical thinking. We work to create content that engages and inspires.

Encouraging Primary Source Analysis — Primary source documents allow students and researchers to engage in history directly. It is with good reason that certain speeches, images, and documents hold enduring significance but others are quickly forgotten. Primary sources form the core of our Documents Decoded Series, with experts providing detailed annotations that illuminate key topic and to explain their significance.

Building Statistical Literacy — Much of contemporary scholarship has a mathematical basis, making statistical literacy increasingly important. To foster these skills, we have included interactive tools in our digital reference and research resources that allow users to define and compare a wide range of data sets and then analyze the results for trends and patterns. In this way, users can build on their intuition and learn to test their hypotheses.
