Ask yourself the 2 credibility questions:

  1. Who is writing?
    • Should be an expert who has at least a master's degree in the subject or who has significant personal experience (ex. police officer for 10 years)
    • NOT a journalist.
  2. On what topic?
    • Should be within the subject the expert studied.

Still unsure? Ask a librarian!
