- 8. PRINT VS WEB Both provide a means of communicating information to a large audience. Both can be used for marketing and advertising purposes. Both offer various formats for presenting information, such as text, images
- 10. material that has been printed and can be produced in a hard copy. Examples of print sources are books, magazines, scholarly journals, and newspapers. These materials are commonly found in a physical library when doing academic research. PRINT SOURCE
- 11. In doing a research paper, look for non-fictions or informational print sources. Non-fiction print sources can vary widely in the audience they target or the amount of information they provide. Imagine the difference between a local newspaper report on air quality compared to a research study on air quality published in a scholarly journal. PRINT SOURCE
- 12. While there is no definite tool that can be used to gauge the reliability of all information, there are a number of memory devices that can help you remember key factors to consider. One device is the CRAAP test that can help you determine its credibility and suitability. PRINT SOURCE
- 13. A. Currency: the timeliness of the information For example: If you were doing research on Covid-19, you would need the most recent information on the symptoms, cause and effect to human. Key indicators of the currency of the information are: ▪ date of copyright ▪ date of publication ▪ date of revision or edition ▪ dates of sources cited ▪ date of patent or trademark
- 14. B. Relevance: consider how the source will effectively support your argument and how you can utilize the source in your paper. ▪ Does the information relate to my topic or answer my question? ▪ Who is the intended audience? ▪ Is the information at an appropriate level (i.e. not too simple or advanced) for my needs? ▪ Did I look at a variety of sources before deciding to use this one? ▪ Would I be comfortable using this source for my college research paper?
- 15. C. Authority: source of information Some external indications of knowledge of or expertise are: ▪ a formal academic degree in a subject area ▪ professional or work-related experience– businessmen, government agency personnel, sports figures, etc. have expertise on their area of work ▪ organizations, agencies, institutions, corporations with active involvement or work in a subject area.
- 16. D. Accuracy: reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the information ▪ Are the sources appropriately cited in the text and listed in the references? ▪ Are quotations cited correctly and in context? Out of context quotations can be misleading and sometimes completely erroneous. ▪ Are there exaggerations, omissions, or errors? These are difficulty to identify if you use only one source of information. Always use several different sources of information on your topic. Analyzing what different sources say about a topic is one way to understand that topic.
- 17. E. Purpose: reason the information exists You should also consider the author’s objectivity. Are they trying to persuade, to inform, or to entertain? Determining the intended audience of a particular piece of information will help you decide whether or not the information will be too basic, too technical, too general, or just right for your needs.
- 18. anything you can find on the Internet, which contains a wealth of high-quality information if you know where to look. Some web sources are databases of scholarly articles. Scholarly articles are published in scholarly journals and are sometimes called peer-reviewed articles. Scholarly journals specialize in publishing technical and research-oriented articles and are mostly intended for students and other scholars. They are often reviewed by peers in the field in order to ensure that the article is relevant and accurate. WEB SOURCE
- 19. Scholarly articles are a full-length document on original research, and sources of high-valuable information. They are written by an expert, for other experts, with new information and research results in some fields. The authors are scholars or researchers with advanced degrees and/or credentials, like Ph.D. or M.D. and known affiliations. WEB SOURCE
- 20. Using the CRAAP test can also be a good tool to check the reliability and effectiveness of your source: A. Currency: the timeliness of the information ▪ When was the information published or posted? ▪ Has the information been revised or updated? ▪ Is the information current or out of date for your topic? ▪ Are the links functional?
- 21. B. Relevance: the importance of the information for your needs ▪ Does the information relate to your topic or answer your question? ▪ Who is the intended audience? ▪ Is the information at an appropriate level (i.e. not too elementary or advanced for your needs)? ▪ Have you looked at a variety of sources before determining this is one you will use? ▪ Would you be comfortable using this source for a research paper?
- 22. C. Authority: the source of the information ▪ Who is the author/publisher/source/sponsor? ▪ Are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations given? ▪ What are the author's credentials or organizational affiliations given? ▪ What are the author's qualifications to write on the topic? ▪ Is there contact information, such as a publisher or e-mail address? ▪ Does the URL reveal anything about the author or source? ▪ Is the site personal, commercial, governmental, organizational, or educational? (.com, .gov, .org, .edu,.net)
- 24. D. Accuracy: the reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the content ▪ Where does the information come from? ▪ Is the information supported by evidence? ▪ Has the information been reviewed or refereed? ▪ Can you verify any of the information in another source or from personal knowledge? ▪ Does the language or tone seem biased and free of emotion? ▪ Are there spelling, grammar, or other typographical errors?
- 25. E. Purpose: the reason the information exists ▪ What is the purpose of the information? to inform? teach? sell? entertain? persuade? ▪ Do the authors/sponsors make their intentions or purpose clear? ▪ Is the information fact? opinion? propaganda? ▪ Does the point of view appear objective and impartial? ▪ Are there political, ideological, cultural, religious, institutional, or personal biases?
