  12. Scholarly vs Popular Popular Magazines Written by journalists, students, popular authors, or no author listed Flashy covers Advertisements Brief articles Trade Journals: Business, Finance, Industry (Written by experts, but may not be peer reviewed) Newspapers Scholarly Journals Written by experts Evaluated by experts: “Peer Reviewed” Authoritative Source Usually include: Credentials of the Author Abstract Bibliography Specialized vocabulary Reference List

  14. Question! Question! Question! Is this source reliable? Is this source current? Have opinions changed? What are the current trends in this research area? Are there any gaps in the research? Is something missing? Who is the author? Are they an expert in this field? Do they represent multiple points of view or do they express bias for their own point of view?
  15. C R Currency How recent is the information? Can you locate a date when the resource was written/created/updated? Based on your topic, is this current enough? Why might the date matter for your topic? Reliability What kind of information is included in the resource? Is the content primarily opinion? Is the information balanced or biased? Does the author provide citations & references for data? Authority Can you determine who the author/creator is? What are their credentials (education, affiliation, experience)? Who is the publisher or sponsor of the work/site? Is this publisher/sponsor reputable? Purpose / Point of View What’s the intent of the article (to persuade you, to sell something)? For Web resources, what is the domain (.edu, .com, etc.)? How might that influence the purpose/point of view? Are there ads on the Web site? How do they relate to the topic? Is the author presenting fact or opinion? A P Based on the original CRAP TEST created by Librarian Molly Beestrum, Dominican University LOEX (Library Orientation Exchange) wiki (2008). The CRAP test.

  17. Paraphrasing and Plagiarism Paraphrasing Read the original text until you grasp its meaning; then set it aside. Using your memory, write down the main points or concepts. Do not copy the text verbatim. Change the structure of the text by varying the opening, changing the order of sentences, lengthening or shortening sentences, etc. Replace keywords within the sentences with synonyms or phrases with similar meanings. Check your notes against the original to ensure you have not accidentally plagiarized. Plagiarism is the misrepresentation of another's work, whether ideas, words, or creative works, published or unpublished, as one's own. The use of someone else's work must be explicitly acknowledged. Examples Quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing text without proper acknowledgement Paraphrasing too closely (e.g., changing only a few words or simply rearranging the text) Downloading all or part of a paper, journal article, or book from the Web or a library database and presenting it as one's own work Plagiarism and other acts of academic dishonesty, including cheating, tampering, and falsification, are subject to academic discipline.
