It is generally not recommended to cite an encyclopedia in academic papers, as they are considered secondary sources containing general knowledge. It is better to cite primary sources or scholarly articles for more authoritative and in-depth information. If you must use an encyclopedia for background information, try to verify the information with other more credible sources.
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia while a plain encyclopedia is on paper.
how many cites can you have in a research paper
It would be a rare occurrence to cite sources that are non peer reviewed within an essay but that does not mean it should never happen. If a wiki puts forward a popular point of view, perhaps a reference to it might be appropriate to show that the point of view exists. To cite a wiki to support arguments set out in the paper would be unlikely to impress an instructor. There are almost always better sources to cite and if there aren't, it is worth considering why no other source has the same view.
The Encyclopedia Britannica would be most appropriate reference materials for gaining information for a research paper on a complex process. :) God bless you!

It means research that supports your thesis, your main idea. You can get this information online, from an encyclopedia, or from a book, as long as you properly cite it in a bibliography. Otherwise it would be plagiarism!
