Main body
Trustable and untrustable sources of information
Trustable sources are those which provide information from a well trusted theory of
discussion and arguments. This information is gathered from various peer reviews and articles
which are written by various well known writers. Sometimes such type of information is
available on various online websites and search engines.
There are various magazines and newspaper articles from well established brands which
provided trusted information for development of academic skills. Magazines and newspapers are
researched and new articles and editorial pages can be used to understand view of writers in a
better manner (Wentzel, 2017). There are many blogs of good writers which can also be
considered by students to extract information. This can also help one in taking trusting
information and authentic data. Evidences and screenshot can also be used by a student in getting
a trusted form of information.
Untrustable sources can be referred to as those which are providing information which is
not clear and such type of information in most case do not posses any type of authentic base.
There are large sources which are providing information which cannot be trusted such as
internet, various journals and books (Hebert and Hauf, 2015). These are copies of original work
and this is reason why they can't be trusted by anyone to get reliable information. Many personal
blogs also do not provide information which is having a strong a trusted base and they don not
have a credential information which can be used. In case of writing assignments it is necessary to
know from where a individual is gathering information and that has to be authentic enough.
