Source Quality Rating Document

General Information about Sources: The best sources of specialized information are not more than five years old, whereas sources of general information can be older. For example, general information about cancer that was written 20 years ago might still be accurate, whereas preferred treatments for lung cancer would be considered specialized information and should be more current since they change often. Primary sources present original research on a subject, whereas secondary sources often cite original research, statistics, or information developed by others. Secondary sources are entirely acceptable for this course and for most academic writing, but one measure of their quality is the primary source on which they are based. Sources that emphasize facts and statistics are often more reliable than those that simply provide opinion, even the opinion of an expert on the subject. There are exceptions to all of the rules stated above.

Provide the title of your source and the Internet link or other locating information.
