How to find Multiple sources for your research

1. ENG 066 – RESEARCH IN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE Finding Multiple , Credible and Recent Sources

2. I. Why Multiple Sources? Using a variety of sources can diminish the effects of bias —the preference of one view over another. Bias may prevent objectivity and often leads to an incomplete representation of information. If blatant bias is present in a source, compensate for it with viewpoints from other sources. https://libguides.usu.edu/variety#:~:text=Using%20a%20variety%20of%20sources%20can%20diminish%20the%20effects%20of,with%20viewpoints%20from%20other%20sources .

3. II . Why Credible Sources? When we write using credible sources, our audience is more likely to find our argument convincing and to trust us . On the contrary, when we use unreliable sources, we can compromise our credibility. Seeking and using reliable sources is one of the most important professional practices that we can learn in college. https:// www.jsums.edu/wrightcenter/files/2020/10/Finding-Credible-Sources.pdf

4. III. Why recent / up-to-date Sources? Make sure that the sources you use are not too old or out of date. There might be a more recent paper with new and better insights on your topic than the one from 10 years ago . https://paperpile.com/g/find-credible-sources /

7. V. Compiling a list of sources In compiling the list of your sources, you need to understand two important listings: Reference List - A reference list is a list of all the sources that you have referred to in your text. A reference list may be ordered in alphabetical order of authors' names, or numerically, depending on the referencing system you are using. Bibliography - lists all the sources you used when researching your assignment. You may include texts that you have not referred to directly in your work, but which have had an influence on your ideas. If you find you have a lot of works that are not referred to directly though, you may wish to look back over your work and check that all of the ideas are fully referenced.
