Learn to find authoritative, trustworthy sources. Evaluate sources using these five criteria: authority, accuracy, currency, relevance, and objectivity.
Note: Traditional print sources and articles in library databases usually go through publication review and editing. Websites do not always have this oversight and editing. Many journal articles use a peer review process, where subject specialists review them before publication.
GOAL: Find a source created by someone with experience and credibility in this topic area.
• Is the author/creator an expert in this topic? What is their experience?
• Search for the author online to find out more about them.
Accuracy GOAL: Find a source with reliable information that you can check the accuracy of.
• Is the information well organized and supported by evidence?
• Is the evidence cited in a way that allows you to look up their sources and read it for yourself? Currency GOAL: Find a timely or current information that suits your information need.
• What is the date of publication for your source?
• Is there more recent information or research?
Relevance GOAL: Find a quality source directly related to your information needs.
• Does this source help answer your research question?
• How is this information useful to you? Is the information detailed enough?
Authority
Objectivity
GOAL: Identify why the information in your source was created. Consider whether there is anything about the creator or publisher that might influence what they tell you.
• Did the author publish this information to inform you, to sell something or promote their website, or to entertain?
• Who is the intended audience? General readers? Academic readers? Customers?
• Does the author or publisher have political, personal, or cultural perspectives that may be
biased?
Red Flags (Use caution with sources with one or more of the following; or avoid them altogether):
• No author is listed or no information is available about the author.
• Numbers, statistics, or claims are presented without any identified source for them.
• Source uses exaggerated claims with emotional language (“This is the most effective treatment
for this illness!”).
• One-sided views that do not acknowledge opposing viewpoints or information.
• You cannot find other sources that present the same information.
