    Consider your source's credibility. Ask these questions:

    Contributor/Author

    • Has the author written several articles on the topic, and do they have the credentials to be an expert in their field?
    • Can you contact them? Do they have social media profiles?
    • Have other credible individuals referenced this source or author?
    • Book: What have reviews said about it?

    Publisher

    • What do you know about the publisher/sponsor? Are they well-respected?
    • Do they take responsibility for the content? Are they selective about what they publish?
    • Take a look at their other content. Do these other articles generally appear credible?

    Bias

    • Does the author or the organization have a bias? Does bias make sense in relation to your argument?
    • Is the purpose of the content to inform, entertain, or to spread an agenda? Is there commercial intent?
    • Are there ads?

    Currency

    • When was the source published or updated? Is there a date shown?
    • Does the publication date make sense in relation to the information presented to your argument?
    • Does the source even have a date?

    Reproduced

    • Was it reproduced? If so, from where?
    • If it was reproduced, was it done so with permission? Copyright/disclaimer included?
