Use search engines and Wikipedia to find quality research. Yes, I included Wikipedia so read on. It often makes sense to start with search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and other favorites. It doesn't hurt to see if there is a good article on Wikipedia. But you use these sources to carry you to better places such as the library databases and other authoritative information--sources you can cite in research papers.
“Wikipedia itself is very hit or miss,” says Ann Cullen, an adjunct professor at Simmons College's library science program. “I have seen Wikipedia entries that shocked me because of what was not included. And others blew me away because they were so good.” Cullen adds that “Wikipedia is an excellent avenue for finding other resources, but Wikipedia itself should not be the source.”
