Credibility Issues for Consideration


The Work Itself
Is it logical and well-supported by reasonable, credible sources?
Is the information in the source correct? How do you know?
Are the tone and style appropriate to your audience? Can tone and style have an impact on appropriateness of sources? How?
Do the source choices meet your own goals and purpose(s)? In what way?


Source of the Work

How long has the source been in existence?
Why has it existed as long as it has or why is it not in existence?

Does the source use reviewers? If so, who are they?
What kinds of positions does the source support?
Is the source referenced by other writers? If so, who are they?


General Issues

For whom does the source have to be credible?
What kinds of sources would create credibility for different audiences?
