Currency: When was the information published? Is it up to date?
Relevance: Is the information what you're really looking for? Who is the material written for: academics, professionals, students, or the general public?
Authority: Who published, wrote, or edited the information? Is the author an expert on the topic?
Accuracy: Is the information reliable and accurate? Do other sources verify this information?
Purpose: What is the purpose of the information? Is it biased to one point of view?
Evaluating Information - Applying the CRAAP Test
The CRAAP Test developed by the Meriam Library at California State University, Chico.
Definition: In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge) material without acknowledging its source. While some types of writing aren't as concerned with documenting sources, ideas, images, sounds, etc. traditional academic writing requires these best practices.
