Document Summary
Your integrity as an author rests to some degree on the quality of the sources you cite, so your sources need to be appropriate and reliable. It can be difficult to know which sources will be useful, appropriate, and relevant for your purposes. This will provide advice for determining which are appropriate for your purposes, and then reading those that are with a critical eye. If so, scan it for headings to get a fuller picture. Once you"ve determined that a source is appropriate, you"ll need to read it closely, thinking carefully about its author, its larger context, and the text itself. Think about if it will achieve your purpose, think about your genre and if the audience will think the sources to be credible and reliable.
