    I wrote 5,000 words on a question for Extended Project. I doubt it's as hard as what you're doing but to give some help;

    - Highlight key words
    - Put them into google [or similar]
    - Find a variety of research papers and seperate them into 'reliable' and 'unreliable'
    - If you are comparing the two types of paper, quickly scan them all, but if not then just quickly scan the 'reliable' ones for valuable infomation that could help you answer the question
    - For the ones you found to be valuable, go into more detail on the paper, and follow any references or links they provide as it may tell you more there

    - Stay away from Wikipedia unless looking at the references at the bottom of the page to find for more research

    Hope this helps.
