Choosing And Assessing Sources

Discussion on Evaluating Sources

The first post

You will post four sources for this discussion topic that you consider potential sources for your research assignment. At least two of these should be publications published in scientific journals.

Please respond to the following questions for each source:

Give the source an APA-style reference citation. If you want to use CiteFast, don’t forget to do so.
How do you know what kind of paper the source is (journal article, news item, government document, etc.)?
What positive and/or negative qualities can you notice when analyzing the usefulness of this source for your research project? Focus, credibility, detail, and audience are all things to think about.
Question of your choice: Please feel free to share your search tactics for locating your sources.
Response that is guided

Take a look at the sources shared by one of your friends. If you were writing a research paper, would you consider all of the sources to be credible? Would you prioritize one above the other? Why do you think that is?
