INTRODUCTION
Bibliography can be referred to as the list of work which is written for the specific subject
or by the particular author (Liu, 2021). It usually appears at the end of the work, research paper,
online presentation and even reports (Fulmore & et.al. (2022)). This project includes the
evaluation of the sources and current obstacles which may have occurred during the report and
issues faced.
MAIN BODY
When undergoing this project, I am glad that I got the opportunity to make it a successful.
The bibliography played an essential role in making my work more relevant and authentic.
During this project, there were two criteria on the basis of which the sources of the project were
evaluated which includes The CRAAP test which is a test to check the verifiable reliability of
content sources across academic subject (Esparrago-Kalidas, 2021). CRAAP is an acronym for
Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. Due to a huge number of sources
surviving online, it can be ambitious to tell whether these sources are authentic to use as tools for
probe. The CRAAP test’s purpose is to make it easier for non-creation and students to find out if
their sources can be authentic (Bull, MacMillan, and Head, 2021). By employing the test while
evaluating sources, a researcher can reduce the probability of using temperamental message
(Tabur & et.al, (2022, March)). Another criteria is RADAR which is used to evaluate the online
sources of the work (Ekhsan, (2019)). During this, there were many problems which were faced
by me when choosing the correct source for my project. This took me many days to choose the
right source for my project. Then I took the help of CRAAP test but the main issue was that I
was not able to make the correct evaluation (Etxeandia-Pradera, and et.al., 2021). I faced issue of
making use of it and I had the fear as to whether I would be able to make the correct evaluation
so that my content can be made relevant. Another issue which I faced was relating to choosing
the correct criteria for the evaluation of bibliography so that the relevancy and reliability of
source can be made sure. I faced another obstacle of setting the correct bibliogtraphy and in
correct format so that I can score good marls in my assignment (Berg, 2017). This was the major
hurdle and the final step of making my work authentic and relevant.

CONCLUSION
It is concluded from this report that the bibliography plays an essential role in the report
making which helps in making the project more relevant and authentic. There are many hurdles
faced when setting the bibliography which includes choosing correct criteria for evaluation such
as CRAAP test and RADAR test.
