From the University of Canterbury, New Zealand Who is the author? Is it an author with academic qualifications, a journalist, or a non specialist? Has the author been published in print? Is there evidence of editorial control? Is there any way to contact the author? What organisation published the information? Is it from an academic institution published for the academic community? or is it from a news organisation reporting to the wider community? or from a government body or related organisation to assist policy makers? or has it been produced by an industry or commercial organisation? or has it been produced by alternative media? or is it a personal document reflecting only an individual's opinion? or has it been produced by a 'Front Group'? When was the material published? When was the file last updated? Does it replicate or update an existing printed publication? Web sites can have the most up to date information, books tend to have information that is already more than a year old, journal articles fall within the two extremes. Why was the material published? Does it report on new research? Does it review existing research? Is it a news item? Who is the intended audience? (does it use specialised language?) Does it contain advertising? Is it trying to persuade you to adopt a particular viewpoint? Can you see any bias evident? Some research may have been funded by companies who have a vested interest in the outcome. This work is published in journals funded by the industry. How does the information compare with other information sources? To answer this question compare material in one source with material in another. See on what issues there is agreement or disagreement. The sources of factual information should also be listed so they can be compared with other sources. Scholarly publications list sources in a bibliography or footnotes. Can you find the sources of information to which the author refers? library.canterbury.ac.nz
