Evaluating Sources
Completion requirements
When evaluating sources, we look at
quality, accuracy, relevance, bias, reputation, currency, and
credibility factors in a specific work. This article breaks down the
questions to ask yourself when evaluating a source – who, what, where,
when, and why (sometimes we also need to add "how") – it then summarises
these into the 5Ws. What are your 5Ws?
