Evaluating Sources (Scholarly versus Popular)
When conducting research, the criteria I use these criteria to for determine the accuracy, authority, relevance, objectivity, coverage and currency of a ing quality source. s is accuracy, authority, relevance, objectivity, coverage and currency. I have to ascertain the excellence of the information present, including truthfulness and correctness. In this case, the source must be peer-reviewed, professional and free from errors. and professional in terms of its appearance. The information must be well-organized, containing evidence and be logical. The sources must have authority, credible authors and affiliations, and objectively present the information without any form of bias, and show consistency, currency and thoroughness. In addition, the information must be relevant to my topic (Mathew, 2014). Comment by Qi: This is a pretty long sentence with a few verbs. You can think of rewriting it.
I balance between quoting/paraphrasing and writing my thoughts by ensuring that the direct quotes are, well-cited and, should only comprise less that 10% of my paper. This means that up to 90% and above of the content should come from my own thoughts. I maintain a balance in using sources, by ensuring that I include print media, web resources, as well as, other sources by balancing the percentage of types of sources to be used in a ratio of 50%, 30% 20% in journal articles, books and web resources (Shewan, 2000).
As you can see that I have made some comments here and also reorganized some of your sentences. You have right information and knowledge about writing but your sentences are broken when you use too many punctuations. Sometimes you also tend to use one subject and many verbs at the same time. Be sure when you do so, so that your verbs should be in the correct format.
