Reference materials are compilation of sources that serves as a tool to provide information or facts about a specific topic. These could be books, established research paper or even news articles.

I assume that by 'reference materials' you primarily mean encyclopedias, handbooks and the like.You may use them to inform yourself in outline, but research - unless at a fairly elementary level - should be based on something more substantial. Generally, good articles in encyclopedias provide an overview or 'thumbnail sketch' of an area, and may be out of date. Many colleges are not happy with the use of reference materials for the core topics or aspects of research.

Reference materials are typically organized using a system such as the Dewey Decimal Classification for libraries or the Library of Congress Classification. These systems assign unique numbers or codes to different subjects or topics, creating a structured way to locate and access materials. Organizations may also use additional methods like alphabetical or chronological ordering to further organize reference materials.
