Evaluating information sources is an important part of the research process. Not all information is reliable or true, nor will all information be suitable for your assignment or project.
In brief, you ask the following questions:
Who has written the information and what authority do they have? Is the information objective or biased? Is there a hidden agenda? Is it corroborated by other sources? How current is the information? Is it relevant to your topic?
To help identify the answers to these questions we use the C.R.A.A.P. test

The Referencing Libguide has resources on how to cite/reference sources in research.
The Online Reference Generator allows you to create citations and bibliographies using the Harvard Referencing Style for a comprehensive list of resources.
MyBib is a free online service that allows users to generate citations and bibliographies. You can paste in a DOI, ISBN or URL and have the fields populate automatically. However it does not always provide the correct reference so you must check that all possible parts of the reference have been included. |
