DETERMINING RELIABLE AND RELEVANT SOURCES
Abstract
This paper will briefly describe how I determined the sources I used for my Annotated Bibliography to be reliable and relevant. I will also determine whether or not the author was bias. We will also get into how this information might strengthen or weaken my essay.
DETERMINING RELIABLE AND RELEVANT SOURCES
To determine if the sources I used in my Annotated Bibliography were reliable and relevant, I first researched where the publication originated. Both of the publications were printed in well known newspapers. Typically, printed publications are more reliable due to the cost of printing. Imagine the cost of printing something that was false in a book or a magazine and then having to retract it. Then I went on to research the writer by checking to see if they had any previous publications for that newspaper. Another step I took was to see if the newspaper was current. Checking to see if there are recent articles published also helps in determining the reliability of the source. The topics I chose were self-motivation and time management. I chose to elaborate on these topics because they are both things that I have struggled with. I used the campus library to locate both articles. Both authors are discussing topics that do not necessarily have a right or a wrong answer. They are giving tips and pointers on what they believe can be useful tools and skill sets in self- motivation and time management. Therefore, I do not feel that there is a bias in either one of the publications. Both of these articles should be valuable in improving the quality of my essay. The self-motivation article spoke about
