When researching you will need to verify the informations reliability because everything you read could be false.
Things that could be seen as unreliable could be wikipedia because anyone can write a post and anyone can edit what is already written. a blog can also be unreliable because it is another persons opinion and can be quite one-sided.
To figure out a websites reliabity you should think about:
Who?
What?
Why?
Where?
Who? - Whose website are you looking at and why does it help you with what you are researching
What? - Does it provide you with useful info?
Why? - What is their motivation for writing it?
Where? - Where they are getting the info from? do they list their sources? if not then think about how reliable the sources are?
When? - Check when the site was updated
