Sample Solution
A reliable source is any information that can be verified and trusted as accurate and truthful. Sources of information can include books, articles, websites, interviews, videos, podcasts, lectures or conversations with experts in a particular field. Reliable sources are important when researching topics for academic assignments or work-related projects because they provide credible evidence to support claims being made.
When using an online source it’s important to consider the website’s authority and credibility before relying on the information presented. Generally speaking, reliable sources will have a few key components: an author who is knowledgeable about the subject; references from other sources to back up their claims; links to external resources such as books or papers that support their argument; and clear contact information for further research if needed. Websites run by governments and universities tend to be more reliable than those run by private individuals or businesses.
