Evaluation of Resources: Accuracy Authority Objectivity Currency Coverage Resources
Accuracy • Where did the data come from? • “Methods” or “Sources” section • Is it consistent with other resources (if any)? • Are terms and measures defined? • Compare apples to apples
Authority • Sources—whose information? • Primary data source or aggregator of others’ data? • Editor lists, editorial statements • Methodology disclosure helps boost confidence here too • For research articles, case studies etc.: • Peer review • Author affiliation statements
Objectivity • Everybody has an angle—what is it? • Can you distinguish between regular and sponsored content?
Currency • How recent is your data? • May be impossible to get very recent data (less than 2-3 years) • Collection, compilation, etc. can take a long time • Some resources present data from a mix of dates—check details, FAQ’s • If historical data is available, look for trends
Coverage • Geographical coverage: • Extent (does it cover the area in question) • Granularity (in small enough chunks: state, county, etc.) • Subject coverage: • Extent (covers the topic in question) • Granularity (divisions between groups: percentages, quartiles, arbitrary groups)
