Quotidian response spouted by conspiracy theorists when they are unable to provide a reliable source to back up their delusional and uncorroborated claims.
Tin foil wearer: Covid is a hoax
Smart person: Care to provide me with sources; I'd like to know further details about your claim.
Tin foil wearer: Go do your research, I'm not doing it for you.

An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.
Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.
This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.

John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?
Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.
▼Incorrect/Malevolent Usage▼
Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.
▼Satirical/Facetious/Sarcastic Usage▼
Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

When a girl/guy sees a guy/girl that they think is attractive and would like to know more about. They proceed to find out the person's name and look them up on myspace, facebook, google and other popular internet stops to find out more about them.

A phrase meaning "Google until you find something that agrees with you". Typically used to pretend the person saying it is somehow smarter than all of the experts.
I don't believe in government vaccines, COVID is the flu, and masks don't work! Do your own research!
