Not every source is reliable, so it’s crucial that you can recognize the good sources from the not-so-good ones. To determine a reliable source, you’ll need to use your analytical skills and critical thinking, and ask yourself the following questions: Does this source agree with other sources I have found? Is the author an expert in the field? Does the author’s point of view have a conflict of interest regarding this topic?" At Stephenson Middle, we suggest using some of our paid databases, such as Middle School In Context by Gale, GALILEO, or Culturegrams. You can access the first two through your Clever log-in. For Culturegrams, see Ms. O'Connor, Media Specialist. Citation: How to Improve Your Research Skills: 6 Research Tips - 2023 - MasterClass
