Evaluate sources, analyze data claims, and detect bias with interactive tools.

Source to Evaluate

Evaluate the source using these five criteria.

Currency– When was this published/updated? Is it still relevant?

Relevance– Does it address your question? Is it at the right level?

Authority– Who created this? What are their credentials?

Accuracy– Is it supported by evidence? Can claims be verified?

Purpose– Why was this created? To inform, persuade, sell, entertain?
