Sources of Information
Look for high quality sources when conducting your research. Here are a few pointers:
A high quality source
is written by a knowledgeable author/expert in the field
is unbiased and does not push an agenda
has been published/peer reviewed.
is either of a time period (historical) or up to date (contemporary).
is free of distracting ads or graphics
provides links to other reputable sources.
provides citations or is easy to cite
****When using the internet, remember that the better sites will likely end in ".org", “.edu” or “.gov”.
While some sites are useful for personal research, they are not acceptable sources for an academic research paper.
