Discussion: Quality Research, and Resources
Academic research will become a powerful tool in your academic and professional arsenal. One part includes finding the right resources, which means steering clear of junk websites like "homework help," anything for "dummies," and Wikipedia, as the Internet allows anyone to create sites, blogs, and wikis. You need to ask yourself if you can authenticate the credentials of the author or publication. Does it have editors? Is it a real professor's website from "x" university?
