How to evaluate articles

Accuracy/documentation

• Does the article provide a detailed list of references? Scholarly and peer-reviewed research articles always include a bibliography or reference list of works consulted by the author and have clear in-text citations or footnotes about the sources used in the article.
• Sources must be clearly indicated. There should be no question about who is responsible for the information, and where the information is coming from.
• Avoid articles that contain spelling or grammatical errors.
