Quality of sources

One of the first sections an examiner will check in your work is the List of References. If your sources are serious and reputable, your examiner will already have a more positive attitude towards your work.

Some students say they do not know what to read and where to look for information. There are ways to start reading useful documents:

  • start with journal articles. They have been reviewed by experts in your field.
  • read your advisor's publications on your topic or similar ones and look at who they quote
  • read authors quoted in the above publications. Do not read everything, make sure you choose publications related to your own topic!

In Unit 5, you will learn how to check the reliability of internet sources.

Before you continue, consider this question. You can now start working on Formatting.
