This document discusses criteria for evaluating outside sources used in academic writing. A good outside source is from a clear, reliable expert and includes specific data. A bad source lacks these qualities, such as a friend's opinion without expertise or data. A great source meets both criteria, for example citing a meteorological agency that provides expert weather details with precise temperature figures. Citation examples are also provided.
