Credibility in Research
An important of your academic and professional development is being able to review research and discern its credibility. For your Unit 8 Discussion you will first watch the Kaplan Video "Web Searching Primer" the Kaplan Writing Center Podcast 22 "Evaluating Sources," and read the PDF of the same, and then address the following:
• How do you define what qualifies as credible research?
• Identify at least two scholarly search engines which will aid in finding credible research.
• What are the three "R's" for evaluating sources and how are they important?
