How do I evaluate my sources? What types of things should I look for?


If you can answer “yes” to the following questions, then it is most likely a credible source:  

  1. Does the source have an author/organization name?  
  2. Does the source have a date of publication?  
  3. Does the article make use of in-text references and a reference list?
