Credible sources

When is a source credible?

If you want to decide whether a source is credible or not, look for...

• What is the purpose of the source (provide information or report original research or experiments, to entertain or persuade the general public, or provide news or information specific to a trade or industry)?
  
  
  
• Who are the authors? Are they respected and well-known in the field? Are they easily identifiable? Have they written about other similar topics? What are their credentials?
  
  
  
• Is the source reputable? Is it published on a reputable, non-biased web site, or in a peer-reviewed, scholarly  journal, and not from a newspaper, blog, or wiki?
  
  
  
• Is the source current for your topic?                                                
  
  
• Is there supporting documentation (graphs, charts, illustrations or other supporting documentation)?
• Is the content non-biased?

• government or military (.gov or .mil) - Government or military websites end in .gov or .mil, and in general are reliable sources on the web. However, beware of political sites used to sway public opinion.
  
  
  
• university (.edu) - University web sites end in .edu, and are usually reliable. Use these sites with caution, checking for credibility and authority.
  
  
  
• company website (.com) - Company web sites generally end in .com. These sites are great for information about a particular company. However be aware that company websites are used to promote, so be sure the information is non-biased.
  
  
  
• special interest (.org) - While many professional organizations end in .org, there are also many .orgs that are biased and promote a specific agenda.
