Try use journals whenever you can, next is probably government documents and official things like that then maybe scholarly books (not "10 cool science facts" or something like that). Textbooks and reference books are very good for science subjects, in other areas not so sure.

When it comes to journals, Google Scholar is your best friend.  Thank God for Scholar.
