Google

Sources such as self-help books, pop psychology publications, dictionary and encyclopedia entries, and general websites are excluded from the scientific research literature. These materials are intended mainly for the general public and are considered unreliable for academic purposes because they do not undergo peer review and are frequently based on personal experience or common sense rather than rigorous empirical data.

Non-Scholarly Sources

Despite containing valuable information, Wikipedia is not considered a reliable foundation for sound scientific research. It is unsuitable because its content can be continually altered, and its authors are anonymous individuals who are not guaranteed to have any formal academic training or subject-matter expertise.
