Evaluating sources is a process that can involve four tasks:

  • Ask and answer clarifying questions about your source
  • Engage in lateral reading
  • Use specialized tools (e.g., reverse image searches, fact-checking sites, library research guides)
  • Ask the experts (such as your professors, advisors, and librarians)
