As a researcher you need to learn to be selective and ensure that you are consulting reliable information. You should ask yourself questions about the literature sources you find and avoid taking things at face value. This is especially important when you are searching the internet, while there are many high quality websites out there, there is also an abundance of misinformation, biased reporting and advertising. You can follow our guidance to learn to choose your sources carefully.
If you wish to discuss the question of evaluating literature sources and get help finding good quality academic resources, please book an appointment with an Academic Librarian. Appointments are available either online or in-person.
