It has been published by <a href="/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica,_Inc." title="Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.">Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.</a> since 1768, although the company has changed ownership seven times. The encyclopaedia is maintained by about 100 full-time editors and more than 4,000 contributors. The 2010 version of the 15th edition, which spans 32 volumes<a href="#cite_note-nytstop-1">[1]</a> and 32,640 pages, was the last printed edition. Since 2016, it has been published exclusively as an <a href="/wiki/Online_encyclopedia" title="Online encyclopedia">online encyclopaedia</a>. Printed for 244 years, the Britannica was the longest-running in-print encyclopaedia in the English language. It was first published between 1768 and 1771 in the Scottish capital of <a href="/wiki/Edinburgh" title="Edinburgh">Edinburgh</a>, in three volumes. The encyclopaedia grew in size; the second edition was 10 volumes,<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> and by its fourth edition (1801–1810), it had expanded to 20 volumes.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Its rising stature as a scholarly work helped recruit eminent contributors, and the 9th (1875–1889) and <a href="/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica_Eleventh_Edition" title="Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition">11th editions</a> (1911) are landmark encyclopaedias for scholarship and literary style. Starting with the 11th edition and following its acquisition by an American firm, the Britannica shortened and simplified articles to broaden its appeal to the North American market. In 1933, the Britannica became the first encyclopaedia to adopt "continuous revision", in which the encyclopaedia is continually reprinted, with every article updated on a schedule.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In the 21st century, the Britannica suffered first from competition with the digital multimedia encyclopaedia <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Encarta" class="mw-redirect" title="Microsoft Encarta">Microsoft Encarta</a>,<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> and later with the online <a href="/wiki/Peer_production" title="Peer production">peer-produced</a> encyclopaedia <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Wired_best-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-NYT_no_print-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-Atlantic_no_print-7">[7]</a> In March 2012, it announced it would no longer publish printed editions and would focus instead on the online version.<a href="#cite_note-NYT_no_print-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Britannica has been assessed as being more politically centrist compared to Wikipedia, which is considered to have a more left-leaning orientation.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> The 15th edition (1974–2010) has a three-part structure: a 12-volume Micropædia of short articles (generally fewer than 750 words), a 17-volume <a href="/wiki/Macrop%C3%A6dia" title="Macropædia">Macropædia</a> of long articles (two to 310 pages), and a single <a href="/wiki/Prop%C3%A6dia" title="Propædia">Propædia</a> volume to give a <a href="/wiki/Hierarchical" class="mw-redirect" title="Hierarchical">hierarchical</a> outline of knowledge. The Micropædia was meant for quick <a href="/wiki/Fact-checking" title="Fact-checking">fact-checking</a> and as a guide to the Macropædia; readers are advised to study the Propædia outline to understand a subject's context and to find more detailed articles. Over 70 years, the size of the Britannica has remained steady, with about 40 million words on half a million topics.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Though published in the United States since 1901, the Britannica has for the most part maintained <a href="/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences" title="American and British English spelling differences">British English spelling</a>. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Present_status">Present status</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Present status">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Print_version">Print version</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Print version">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg/260px-Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="248" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg/390px-Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg/520px-Encyclopaedia_Britannica_15_with_2002.jpg 2x" data-file-width="776" data-file-height="739" /></a><figcaption>The 15th edition of the Britannica; the initial volume with the green spine is the Propædia; the red-spined and black-spined volumes are the Micropædia and the Macropædia, respectively.

The Britannica's articles are contained in the Micro- and Macropædia, which encompass 12 and 17 volumes, respectively, each volume having roughly one thousand pages. The 2007 Macropædia has 699 in-depth articles, ranging in length from two pages to 310 pages, with references and named contributors. In contrast, the 2007 Micropædia has roughly 65,000 articles, the vast majority (about 97%) of which contain fewer than 750 words, no references, and no named contributors.<a href="#cite_note-library_association_1996-10">[10]</a> The Micropædia articles are intended for quick fact-checking and to help in finding more thorough information in the Macropædia. The Macropædia articles are meant as authoritative, well-written commentaries on their subjects, as well as storehouses of information not covered elsewhere.<a href="#cite_note-kister_1994-11">[11]</a> The longest article (310 pages) is on the subject of the United States, and it resulted from merging separate articles on the individual <a href="/wiki/US_state" class="mw-redirect" title="US state">US states</a>. A 2013 "Global Edition" of Britannica contained approximately 40,000 articles.<a href="#cite_note-store.britannica.com-12">[12]</a> Information can be found in the Britannica by following the <a href="/wiki/Cross-reference" title="Cross-reference">cross-references</a> in the Micropædia and Macropædia; these are sparse, however, averaging one cross-reference per page.<a href="#cite_note-sader_1995-13">[13]</a> Readers are instead recommended to consult the alphabetical index or the Propædia, which organizes the Britannica's contents by topic.<a href="#cite_note-index_preface-14">[14]</a> The core of the Propædia is its "Outline of Knowledge", which aims to provide a logical framework for all human knowledge.<a href="#cite_note-propedia_preface-15">[15]</a> Accordingly, the Outline is consulted by the Britannica's editors to decide which articles should be included in the Micro- and Macropædia.<a href="#cite_note-propedia_preface-15">[15]</a> The Outline can also be used as a study guide, as it puts subjects in their proper perspective and suggests a series of Britannica articles for the student wishing to learn a topic in depth.<a href="#cite_note-propedia_preface-15">[15]</a> However, libraries have found that it is scarcely used for this purpose, and reviewers have recommended that it be dropped from the encyclopaedia.<a href="#cite_note-library_association_1992-16">[16]</a> The Propædia contains color transparencies of human anatomy and several appendices listing the staff members, advisors, and contributors to all three parts of the Britannica.

It noted that two of the articles in the study were taken from a Britannica yearbook and not the encyclopaedia, and another two were from Compton's Encyclopedia (called the Britannica Student Encyclopedia on the company's website).

The Micropædia had 12 vols. and the Macropædia 17. The first CD-ROM edition was issued in 1994. At that time also an online version was offered for paid subscription. In 1999 this was offered free, and no revised print versions appeared.

A new edition typically begins with strong sales that decay as the encyclopaedia becomes outdated.

Elkan Harrison Powell identified this fluctuation of income as a danger to any encyclopaedia, one he hoped to overcome with continuous revision. </li> <li id="cite_note-19"><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070322035443/https://www.eb.com/library/print/eb.html">"Encyclopædia Britannica: School & Library Site, promotional materials for the 2007 Britannica"</a>.
