This test helps you to evaluate your sources by using five criteria.]]> 2022-10-27 22:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/firstprofessionalelectronics/h3jdp4dgkr80o1gc/wish/2359740969 Evaluating what you find chnagroup https://padlet.com/firstprofessionalelectronics/h3jdp4dgkr80o1gc/wish/2359741360 If you have a large number of results you will first want to filter them to take out any that are not relevant.
A quick way of judging the quality and relevance of a source, especially on the Internet is to ask:

  • Who is the author of the source? Who put the information there (who owns the site)? What authority or expertise do they have in this area?
  • Why was the source created?
  • When was the source last updated?
For journal articles, peer review can provide a guide to academic quality, but you should still carry out your own evaluation, to be sure the information meets your needs.
