There are several main criteria for determining whether a source is reliable or not.
确定来源是否可靠有几个主要标准。
1) Accuracy. Verify the information you already know against the information found in the
source. Look also for disclaimers as to the accuracy of the content. You may also want to
double-check the information against a source that you already know is trustworthy. Even though
a source may use technical language, the content may be misleading.
1) 准确性。根据来源中的信息验证您已经知道的信息。还要查看有关内容准确性的免责声明
。您可能还想根据您已经知道值得信赖的来源仔细检查信息。即使来源可能使用技术语言，其
内容也可能具有误导性。
2) Authority. Ensure that the source is written by a trusted author and/or organization. If you are
using a web page, you can usually identify the owner/publisher by the URL or check the copyright
notice near the bottom of the page. Ensure that the author has the proper credentials for the
subject. In addition, determine whether the source is biased. For example, if it is medical
information for a pharmaceutical company, the company will provide information to support its
products. Pay attention to the author's objectivity and his/her point of view.
2) 权威。确保来源是由值得信赖的作者和/或机构撰写的。如果您使用的是网页，通常可以通
过 URL 识别所有者/发布者，或者检查页面底部附近的版权声明。确保作者对主题具有适当的
凭据。此外，确定来源是否有偏见。例如，如果是来自制药公司的医疗信息，该公司将提供支
持其产品的信息。注意作者的客观性和他/她的观点。
3) Current. Depending on your theme, your currency needs will be different. For topics related to the
latest breakthroughs in medicine and technology, you need to find the latest resources. However, if
you are researching historical topics, the old resources may still be useful. For web pages, you can
usually find the copyright date near the bottom. Also, look for words such as "revision" or "update"
to find the date of the website.
3) 货币。根据您的主题，您的货币需求会有所不同。对于与医学和技术的最新突破相关的主
题，您需要找到最新的资源。但是，如果您正在研究一个历史主题，旧资源可能仍然有用。对
于网页，您通常可以在底部附近找到版权日期。此外，查找“修订”或“更新”等词以查找网站的
日期。
4) Coverage. You also need to check the content of the source and how it meets your information
needs. Determine how relevant it is to your topic and whether it touches on that topic. Also, if you
are looking for a source to discuss this matter in depth, please make sure it provides enough
information. In addition, determine whether the site provides all the data you may need. For
example, if you need to include graphics or diagrams in your paper, try to find a source that provides
these content.
4) 覆盖范围。您还需要检查源的内容以及它如何满足您的信息需求。确定它与您的主题的相
关性以及它是否涉及主题。此外，如果您正在寻找深入讨论此事的来源，请确保它提供了足够
的信息。此外，确定该站点是否提供了您可能需要的所有数据。例如，如果您需要在论文中包
含图形或图表，请尝试找到提供这些内容的来源。
All in all, please check who posted the source, the purpose of the source, the creation/update time
and its content. Also check whether it has any potential biases, and whether the page provides
references or reliable links from other sources.
总而言之，请检查谁发布了源、源的目的、创建/更新的时间及其内容。还要查看它是否有任
何潜在的偏见，以及网页是否提供了其他来源的参考或可靠链接。
