Why is it important to use only reliable reference sources when doing research on the internet?

Because anyone can write content on the internet and the veracity (truthfulness and accuracy) of the information can only be verified if it comes from a reliable or trustworthy source. There are many hoaxes, scams, myths, urban legends, ignorance, and misinformation out there. The accuracy of the information must also be attested to by comparison with 2-3 independent sources and/or be peer reviewed.

It is also important that the reference source gives reference to the original source, study, research or the basis of the facts. Why? Because even sincere researchers who are usually reliable can make mistakes or be inaccurate if they make use of the wrong or erroneous source material.
