| It is
valuable to verify
information when
possible. This may
include finding the
background of an author,
locating the original
source of a fact, or
determining the point of
view of a publisher or
sponsor. Another
important method for
evaluating print and
online sources is to
find out what others
think. You might look
for reviews of the work
or ask your professor or
librarian for their
opinions. Once you
locate and evaluate your
sources, you will need
to incorporate them into
your paper. Knowing how
to properly cite
information will not
only help you avoid
committing plagiarism,
it will also help you
write a better paper. |
