Finding Reliable Sources

Tips for finding and utilizing reliable sources:

  • Using trusted databases is always the best place to start. These resources have already been semi-reviewed and contain accurate information. 
  • Searching for "peer-reviewed" articles prevents misconceptions and provides accurate information. 
  • Resources which provide a list of citations and sources are resources that have been constructed through research and study

  • World War II
