Use the following questions to help you evaluate documents:
- What type of document is it? Is it a research paper, or a blog post?
- When was the document written? Is the information old?
- What is the author's name and credentials? Do they have the knowledge to know what they are talking about?
- What is the document's tone? Are there any words that lead you to believe that the author is biased?
- What is the reason the document was created? Did the author want to inform or persuade others?
- Who is the intended/likely audience? Is it for the general public or experts in the field?
