Credible Sources & Reliable Sources

There are too many sources on the internet; either credible sources or non-credible ones. Anyone with any knowledge level at any age can write everything about anything! This much as bigdata makes it complicated for data cleansing process.

There is no specific rule for reliable sources. However, we can claim that there are a few ground rules! Make sure your source is;

1. backed-up with other sources, it is no one’s own idea
2. Not a blog, personal writing
3. Published & approved by an institution or has potential to be published

Here are some popular, reliable & credible sources you can use with your academic writings.
