Academic Sources

HELPFUL TIP:

use Wikipedia to get a baseline for your knowledge (but this obviously isn’t academic for University). Go to the very bottom of the Wikipedia page and look at the sources there. You will find a lot of different options for more academic resources.

Lots of good links along the side bar on these website that will lead to different research avenues
