The Importance Of Credibley Sources

508 Words3 Pages
Students often receive research assignments requiring the use of credible resources but what does it mean for a source to be credible? Why is it important to use these sources and how can you tell if a source is credible? When we describe a source as credible we are basically saying that the information is of high quality and trustworthiness, essentially that we can believe what the source is telling us. When you use high quality sources to back up your points (typically opinionated), you demonstrate your own credibility as a writer thereby contributing to the overall effectiveness of your argument. The best quality research builds on other high quality research. This is true for both your own work and the work of professional researchers.
