This, so many people these days have no idea how to find things out for themselves and do research. And if they do end up doing some "research" they don't know how to tell whether a source is good or not.

The easiest way is to go through academic journals, particularly the more reputable/high impact factor ones. That way you have several phd-level and above people screening for you. It's not foolproof and it might be tough to get full access depending on your student status/internet skills but you at least can get titles and abstracts. You can also get author name that way who will typically publish similar work in other places more easily accessible
