Hi Ella! I definitely perform research as part of the worldbuilding for my books. I strive to make sure the "science" part of my science fiction is accurate, and that the parts where I stretch science - using wormholes to get around the speed of light, for example - are based on plausible theory.
My favorite place to start for research is the internet; many research papers are available online for free through academic portals. I've also been lucky enough to know people working in fields such as biochemistry and counterintelligence who have offered their expertise, told me what I got wrong, and how to fix it!
