There isn't a checklist that determines if information is credible, trustworthy, or even appropriate for your research. Start with asking questions to determine how well a source fits your needs. Remember that the information needs to be situated in the context of your inquiry research question.
Reminder: Always review the assignment for any source requirements.
- How will you use this source in your research assignment?
- What value does this source add to your research assignment?
- Does the information relate to your research question and/or answer some aspect of it?
