If you are a research student, you need to remember the basic formulae to attain success. You need to remember that writing a researched document isn’t just limited to surf wikipedia or searching Google search bar.

Overall, research is the process of carrying reluctant readers, to the details of data, statistics, testing and theory. Hence you need to remember the following points while pursuing your research:
1.Wikipedia is a valuable tool, but you have to be cautious
A good researcher has to make sure that he considers Wikipedia as a secondary source and not as his main source of research. He needs to remember a good rule of thumb to verify and backup anything he finds in Wikipedia with a non-Wikipedia related source. However, Wikipedia could still be a valuable tool for research.
2. Use something other than a common search
The quickest and easiest way to find the topic of your research is to put a phrase into a search engine and dig out data from the first few pages of results.
3. Search Specific Resources
A researcher should try to go-to research tools (besides that basic search) that will extend a helping hand to you not only on research specific topics but will also give new ideas for new posts. A few of them are:
Google Trends: This is a free service that shows you trends in search activity all over the world. You get an access to maps, charts, and other tools.
Google Scholar: This tool is meant to search scholarly articles, books, abstracts, court opinions and theses.
Infomine is yet another resource used by researchers. It is similar to Scholar, a search engine that dips into the “invisible” web. It has databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library etc for scholarly research.
