RESEARCH RULES
Paraphrased from http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/553/03/
- Read the preface, as it will allow you to see what the author wants to portray in his writing. This will also allow to see if it´s detailed enough or not.
- Look at the sources used in order to find other useful sources for your own paper.
- You should make sure the material you are looking for is friendly for the audience you choose. Is it age appropiate?
- Decide whether your source is biased or factual. Will this help your own research or not?
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the source for what you need it.
- Is the paper opinion or objective?
- Is the theme overstated or oversimplified this might affect your own paper.
- Is the source reliable, does it use reliable sources to back up his information?
- How accurate is the source?
- Does the author back up his points of view?
- Is the source up to date? If not is this pertinent to your paper?
- Try to look for the same information in another source to check it's accuracy.
- What is the integrity and credibility of the source? Do they have any? Are they well-known and reliable?
- Are both sides looked at in order to make the arguments? In other words, good arguments are given looking at both sides of the issue.
