How to improve documentation and reliability of info when you have no outside feedback?

Hello! I’m very interested in investigation work and based off the job description of CTI (Cyber Threat Intelligence) it seems like a career I’m into. If I’m being honest I’m coming from a background of very poor critical thinking and writing skills but it’s also something I have a passion for and wish to improve. Ive always excelled in math though. I’m majoring in computer science and minoring in philosophy and I love this combination. I’ll only start classes that help improve my critical thinking, writing and technical writing skills next semester.

In the mean time I wanted to start doing random investigations using OISNT. I ran into a problem though my documentation looks very wacky and extremely low quality.
Today I wanted to find what the viral food Obama ate was while being in Vietnam and the cost converted into US dollars (just a random topic lol). I got the information but not in the most “academic peer reviewed journal” type of way. I want to improve and make my documentation higher quality and credible but I’m not sure how exactly to do that with only my input. Help how do I improve?! NO AI SUGGESTIONS I refuse to use it‼️

Additional Quetions
– Do you have to cite your sources? If so what format do you use?
– Is it similar to academic writing?
– How do you format your information?
– For your evidence what information do you include? Ex; pictures, quotes, data
– Do you have to give an in depth background information?
– Do you even have to do documentation?
