The best reference source is a book. However, no one likes doing that so try using a journal database such as proquest, psychinfo, etc. These can be found through your university's library webpage. hint- a journal is like an academic magazine that has a variety of articles that often stem from new research. VERY VERY realible. my professor expect at least 5 journal article for every major assignment.
Furthermore, my professors suggest Google scholar, any professional organization website, such as the APA ( American psychological association, AMA ( American medical association) etc.
government websites are very reliable too.
Any website that ends in .edu or .org are typically pretty reliable.
Not all professors/teachers will accept encyclopedias.
Wikipedia ( as much as I love it ) is not accepted as a reference but it's a great way to get an overview of you topic. HINT- check the references on the bottom of a Wiki and just click them. It will open up a new window to the material and if its reliable ( must use some critical thinking) I would use it.
When in doubt just ask your professor/teacher, they will usually tell you exactly what they are looking for.
Its a lot of legwork trying to allocate references it royally sucks. Hope this helps.
