One of the best websites where you can find research sites for writing is www.SteveLaube.com/.
Here are three of my favorite sites taken from there:
www.BibleGateway.com – The best way to search for that elusive Bible verse. Search any verse in the NIV, ESV, The Message, NASB, NRSV, KJV, Young’s Literal, Worldwide English or Darby translations. It is as good as having Bible software loaded on your computer. (You can search within foreign language translations as well!)
www.YourDictionary.com – A fabulous compendium of on-line dictionaries and thesauri of every imaginable description, including foreign language, acronyms, biographical, multilingual, and the ever-popular Pimbly’s Dictionary of Heraldry. If you can’t find it here, it’s probably not a word.
www.AcronymFinder.com is a searchable database of more than 109,800 common abbreviations and acronyms about computers, technology, telecommunications, and the military, including Department of Defense, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, and Coast Guard acronyms and abbreviations.
The Internet provides innumerable sites for helping us with our research. However make sure the site is credible before you quote it in your writing. This concludes our six-part series on Keeping Your Credibility through Research.
