RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF SOURCES For a source to be reliable it must me dependable and creditable. Through the course of this research assignment, I have tried to use sites that are trustworthy. By refraining from sites like Wikipedia, blogs and forums I have tried to control what unreliable information I used. Using sites like Government websites, Medical Journals, Company websites, Education websites and other credible sources, I felt confident that the information I was getting was as reliable as possible. As well as being reliable, a source must also be valid. Validity relates to how suitable the source is to the questions asked and the information that needs to be collected. In using sources that are professional, creditable, published, relevant, unbiased and current, the validity and reliability is more certain than sources that aren’t creditable or relevant. Using creditable, reliable and valid sources are important in the accuracy and correctness of an assignment.
