No doubt, the Internet has revolutionized the research process. Instead of spending hours in the library browsing through dozens of books, college students can now access thousands of statistics and articles in a matter of minutes without ever leaving their desks. The problem is, anyone can publish and edit information online, even if it's false, and telling a good source from a bad one can be tricky. So here's a list of websites that provide reliable information for every research topic.

Search Engine

Do you ever wish you could tell a search engine to retrieve only scholarly sources? Well, wish granted. An alternate Google search engine called Google Scholar searches for information only within journal articles and legal documents. It might just be the Web's best kept secret on research. And it's free.

Database

One great database of scholarly articles is JSTOR. Enter a topic into the search bar, and JSTOR searches thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles for information. However, to fully access all of the material requires a subscription. Your college may have a subscription that you can use with a student login. To find out, contact your college library. In the meantime, check to see if there's any material available that you can access on your own. A small portion of JSTOR's material is available for free.
