What is the Dictionary and reference board?

The ProZ.com Dictionary and Reference Board is a searchable database of dictionaries and other works of reference which may be of use to language professionals. Records can be created on works of reference, and feedback provided by members of the community.

The main page for the Dictionary and Reference Board is http://www.proz.com/references/

What is the purpose of the Dictionary and reference board team?

The Dictionary and Reference Board team is a group of volunteers who help to manage the board. Some of their tasks include making sure record information is as correct and complete as possible, vetting records and feedback entries, and guiding members in their use of the board.

Who can make a record on the board?

Dictionary and reference records can be created by any logged in site member. All records entered are subject to vetting by the board team or site staff before becoming visible.

Can I provide feedback on a record?

If you have read or used the work represented by the record, yes. Feedback on works may be given by clicking on the “Please provide feedback to the community” link on the record involved.

The feedback provider is prompted to enter a short comment on the work, along with a number rating, from 1-5, 5 being the highest rating. Feedback comments should be limited to feedback on the work itself. All feedback entries are subject to vetting by the board team or site staff before becoming visible.
