Scientists show how ‘doing your own research’ leads to believing conspiracies — This effect arises because of the quality of information churned out by Google’s search engine::Researchers found that people searching misinformation online risk falling into “data voids” that increase belief in conspiracies.
I use and recommend scholar.google.com, it’s basically a search engine tailored to scientific research only. Some of it can be difficult to digest, though.
Most questions were not suitable for scientific publication. Also there are pretty bad studies on the regular.
