I have a more question whether these links to scientific research in the References section on each topic, especially the latest links (I'm talking about the date of publication of the study) are legit sources and are they really the works of scientists?

Open source textbooks, YouTube videos, and the library are good options.

Here's some free textbooks teachers like using for some reason. It's a start if you haven't touched any of the topics listed, but you'll find it has limits that upper level subjects focus on when you reach that point:

All? Yes.
Only the ones that point to evidence that support your case? Absolutely not.
Only the ones that are interesting for you? Not by any means.
