Choosing Good Sources

As a student writing an academic research paper, I need to choose good resources. When I wrote my first research paper, I thought I could refer to any source that appeared on the internet. However, based on my professor’s comment, I knew that Wikipedia was an unreliable resource because it can be edited by any internet user. Besides, if my research paper includes unreliable sources, my readers would question the validity of the content and be unable to receive meaningful information. I know that a research paper would not achieve its purpose without credible sources, and it is crucial to verify the accuracy of sources before using them.
