When you have found material that feels relevant, it is important that you do your own evaluation of the material.

In the module, we will go through the points below, so you can get tips on what to investigate.

• Peer review/referee review

• Structure in scientific documents – IMRaD

• Primary source or secondary source

• Author

• Content and time

• Publication and source of information

• Research funder and ethical issues

However, remember to be critical of the source and always check with your own pre-understanding of the subject area!
