It is extremely important to be aware of the sources you site in your academic papers/assignments. Not everything you find on the web is going to be reliable, or in some cases even relevant when considering the standards you are held to as an undergraduate student. Thankfully, one of the best parts about this reading were the tips given to avoid making such mistakes when looking for research resources. Remember, “you should review these tips before, during, and after you conduct any research using the internet to ensure that you have selected only the information sources that will lead to your success (68). More specifically, you should always be aware of an authors credentials and the credentials of the website who published that work as well. This may sometimes take extra time to verify and so if possible use scholarly search engines like google scholar or the OSU library database. Since these engines post peer-reviewed articles, you can be much more assured that they are written and reviewed by experts and thus more credible. Wiki is NOT YOUR FRIEND! Avoid Wikipedia and blog sites as much as possible because these are public domains that can be edited and added to by anybody, regardless of credentials. These are just some tips that will help you be more sure of the sources you cite, and ultimately I hope you found them to be beneficial.
