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.Could a reader reproduce the article’s source trail without guessing?
- 2.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
- 3.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 4.Are alternative explanations described fairly and specifically?
- 5.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
