SOURCE CRITICISM
Source criticism means evaluating the reliability of a data source, that is, evaluating whether the information you find is correct. In the current flood of information, assessing the accuracy of information is often challenging. Sometimes a source may contain incorrect or old information.
The source of the information should be studied in more detail:
Reliability. Is the content true or false?
Timeliness. When is the source of information a publication?
Factor. Who wrote the content? Are there any source entries?
Publisher. Who published the source? Knowledge source expertise.
Impartiality. Why is the source made, what is the motive of the author?
Truth value. Is it researched information or opinions?
