Source Evaluation

CRAAP criteria (quick version):

  • Currency: Is the source recent enough for this topic? (Technology: < 2 years; science: check if superseded)
  • Relevance: Does it directly address the question?
  • Authority: Is the author or organization credible in this domain?
  • Accuracy: Is it peer-reviewed, cited, or verifiable from other sources?
  • Purpose: Is it informational vs. promotional vs. opinion?

Red flags: anonymous authorship, no citations, sensational language, single-source claims.

Best practice: triangulate important facts across 2–3 independent sources before asserting them.
