Use the CRAAP test to quickly evaluate whether a source such as a website or an article, is reliable enough to use for your research. This method focuses on 5 criteria:
Currency: when was the information updated?
Relevance: does the information fit your purpose?
Authority: who is the creator?
Accuracy: is there any evidence?
Purpose: is there bias?
