CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE?? UNRELIABLE Reliable and UNRELIABLE Sources

RELIABLE Always use the most reliable resources you can find! Consider the speaker- Does the author seem knowledgeable and trustworthy? If so, these are the sources you can:

UNRELIABLE Other sources, like Wikipedia, have authors that are potentially less reliable. Remember: anyone can post information on the internet, and we need to be CRITICAL READERS in order to determine what to believe!

POSSIBLE Reliable Sources These resources are usually ones you can trust to be reliable:  Books—authored, edited and published  Newspapers and magazines  Peer reviewed journals  Peer reviewed articles  PhD or MBA dissertations and research  Public library  Scholarly articles  Isolated studies or academic research  Educational institutions and their websites

To determine reliability of online sites and organizations, look at the URL’s ending:  If the site ends in.edu, it is most likely an educational institution.  If the site ends in.gov, it is most likely a reliable government website.  If the site ends in.org, it is usually a non-profit organization. Online journals and magazines:  Reliable journals and magazines should contain a credible bibliography for every article  THINK: do these sources (evidence) support the articles’ focus/main idea? News sources:  Every television and print news source has a website  Beware! Sometimes their purpose is to entertain rather than inform

The following can be unreliable sources:  Wikipedia: although this is a good starting point for finding initial ideas about a topic, some of their information and attached resources may not be reliable  Blogs, personal websites, forums, or opinionated editorials that have no credible resources cited  Sites that provide overly-biased information with no credibility Some online sources with an URL that end in.com are unreliable:  Sites that are only looking to sell something.  Sites that have no credible resources or evidence
