Many students turn to Wikipedia for their initial exploration of a topic. This is fine, but be sure to augment your background research with sources you can actually include on an academic bibliography (a.k.a. your References list).

Conduct background research because:

• It is a great source of core knowledge on your topic
• It can generate ideas on different ways to focus your topic
• It can answer research questions you've already posed
• It may help you clarify and/or expand research questions.
• It often points you towards other sources of information on your topic
