What makes a source useful
A useful source lets readers trace a claim. For research, that usually means an identifiable paper, DOI, methods, participant count, and limitations. For a personal account, it means a clear provenance note and an honest description of what records or witnesses are available.
Popularity, professional status, and emotional force can increase interest, but they do not replace documentation. Strong editorial work makes the source trail visible and tells readers when the trail ends.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the page distinguish cardiac arrest, resuscitation, and irreversible death?
- 2.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
- 3.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 4.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 5.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
