Uncertainty analysis is important in scientific research that contain experimental work. This analysis take into account the effect of errors that yield from instruments and experimental procedure. I need a reference to know how to do it.
As mentioned, the NIST Websites have good information. Here are two general Webpages. Search for "NIST uncertainty websites" for others.

https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/index.html
As for books, I highly recommend these two.
Measurements and Their Uncertainties, Hughs and Hase
https://www.amazon.com/Measurements-their-Uncertainties-practical-analysis-ebook/dp/B005LQCQM8
An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements, Taylor
https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Error-Analysis-Uncertainties-Measurements/dp/093570275X
For a formal, full-blown consideration of the components to uncertainty analysis, reference to the Guide to Uncertainty in Measurement (the GUM).
https://www.bipm.org/en/publications/guides/gum.html
For a thorough example of how to develop an uncertainty budget for a specific system, see my publication from Measurement that expands an equation for force versus distance.

The reference is the GUM (search BIPM GUM) but it isn’t easy to understand. NIST has online material and my organisation (NPL) does some e-learning courses on uncertainty analysis.
For chemistry field:
https://www.eurachem.org/images/stories/Guides/pdf/Eurachem_CITAC_QAC_2016_EN.pdf
I also think that the GUM is the first reference. It is an admirable, detailed practical guide which provides a unitary, internationally accepted procedure for evaluating and expressing uncertainty in measurement. Besides the Guide, I highly recommend the book:
Ignacio Lira, Evaluating the Measurement Uncertainty. Fundamentals and Practical Guidance
https://www.amazon.com/Evaluating-Measurement-Uncertainty-Fundamentals-Technology/dp/0750308400.
