Sheri HarrisonAnalyzing Information Sources for research credibility
-
Bibliographic citations characteristically have three main components: author, title, and publication information
-
What are the author's credentials--institutional affiliation (where he or she works), educational background, past writings, or experience? Is the book or article written on a topic in the author's area of expertise
-
Is the author associated with a reputable institution or organization
-
When was the source published
-
Also, many printings or editions may indicate that the work has become a standard source in the area and is reliable. If you are using a Web source, do the pages indicate revision dates? -
Note the publisher. If the source is published by a university press, it is likely to be scholarly
-
s this a scholarly or a popular journal
-
What type of audience is the author addressing? Is the publication aimed at a specialized or a general audience? Is this source too elementary, too technical, too advanced, or just right for your needs?
-
Is the information covered fact, opinion, or propaganda
-
Does the information appear to be valid and well-researched, or is it questionable and unsupported by evidence
-
Is the author's point of view objective and impartial? Is the language free of emotion-arousing words and bias?
-
Does the work update other sources, substantiate other materials you have read, or add new information?
-
Primary sources are the raw material of the research process.
-
Choose both primary and secondary sources when you have the opportunity.
-
Is the publication organized logically
-
Locate critical reviews of books in a reviewing source, such as Book Review Index, Book Review Digest, OR Periodical Abstracts. Is the review positive? Is the book under review considered a valuable contribution to the field

ysical information source (a book or an article for instance) even before you have the physical item in hand. Appraise a source by first examining the bibliographic citation. The bibliographic citation is the written description of a book, journal article, essay, or some other published material that appears in a catalog or index. Bibliographic citations characteristically have three main components: author, title, and publication information. These components can help you determine the usefulness of this source for your paper. (In the same way, you can appraise a Web site by examining the home page carefully.)
