Reference materials are compilation of sources that serves as a tool to provide information or facts about a specific topic. These could be books, established research paper or even news articles.

I assume that by 'reference materials' you primarily mean encyclopedias, handbooks and the like.You may use them to inform yourself in outline, but research - unless at a fairly elementary level - should be based on something more substantial. Generally, good articles in encyclopedias provide an overview or 'thumbnail sketch' of an area, and may be out of date. Many colleges are not happy with the use of reference materials for the core topics or aspects of research.

Reference materials can be outdated, leading to the dissemination of inaccurate or irrelevant information. They may also be biased, reflecting the perspectives or limitations of their authors. Additionally, some reference materials can be overly complex or technical, making them inaccessible to certain audiences. Lastly, reliance on reference materials can hinder critical thinking and independent research skills.
