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.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
- 2.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
- 3.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
- 4.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 5.Does the page distinguish cardiac arrest, resuscitation, and irreversible death?
