It is supplemented by the New Dictionary of Scientific Biography and an electronic version that includes both publications.

It includes scientists who worked in the areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. The work is notable for being one of the most substantial reference works in the field of history of science, containing extensive biographies on hundreds of figures. It gives information about both the personal biography and in considerable detail about the scientific contributions. Engineers, physicians, social scientists and philosophers only appeared when their work was intrinsically related to the sciences of nature or to mathematics.12 Though the Dictionary has worldwide coverage, the ors write that it focusses most on Western scientists, due to the limited availability of scholarship about Asian, Indian and Islamic historical scientists at the time.1 The articles in the Dictionary are typically 1-5 pages, and are written by eminent historians of science. All articles list a selection of the original works of the subject, as well as a comprehensive list of the secondary literature about them which may be in any language, including early works as well as more contemporary ones. The first volume of the Dictionary was first put out in 1970, under the general orship of Charles Coulston Gillispie. The set was completed in 1980. The Dictionary was published under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies by Charles Scribner's Sons in 16 volumes. Volume 15 is Supplement I; it contains additional biographies as well as topical essays on non-Western scientific traditions. Volume 16 is the general index. A 2-volume Supplement II with additional biographies was published in 1990. In 1981, after the 16-volume set was complete, Scribner's published a one-volume abridgement, the Concise Dictionary of Scientific Biography. Its second ion was published in 2001 and includes content from the 1990 Supplement II. In 1981, the American Library Association awarded the Dartmouth Medal to the Dictionary as a reference work of outstanding quality and significance. New Dictionary of Scientific Biography The New Dictionary of Scientific Biography, ed by Noretta Koertge, was published by Scribner's in December 2007 with 775 entries. 3 Nearly 500 of these are new articles about scientists who died after 1950 and thus were not included in the original Dictionary; 75 articles are on figures from earlier periods not included in the original Dictionary of Scientific Biography, including a substantial number of female and third-world scientific figures; The other 250 are supplementary or replacement articles giving recent research and interpretation, intended to be read in conjunction with the corresponding articles in the original dictionary.. The coverage now includes psychology, anthropology, and to a limited extent some areas of sociology and economics.45 Electronic version In 2007, Charles Scribner's Sons published the Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biographyas an e-book. It includes the complete text of both print ions, with a unified index and other finding aids. Many university libraries make this e-book available online to logged-in, on-campus subscribers. ions Gillispie, Charles C., or in chief. Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
