-I think that one of the first types of criteria that an individual should look for that makes a research paper accurate is whether or not the information being presented is current. For example the information that is being presented in the paper might not be relevant for today's current statues.
-Does the paper have good credentials? What I mean by this is, does the paper being present contain scholarly work from other sources and not just their own sources to support its claim.
-Can what is being described or experimented on in the paper be reproduced? Is this a one time event in history that has caused a change in the future or something that can be proven through either scientific data or factual information.
-The reader should be able to draw logical lines on how the information being presented relates to one another. Can I get from point A to point B without making any assumptions?
-Another piece of information that the reader should take into account is whether the paper is uniform throughout. What I mean is does the paper contain consistent information throughout the entire paper or is it just a hodgepodge of information.
Class Criteria
1. References/Sources is the information provided credible? Do not argue whether or not Global Warming is true or not. Also the Publisher.
2. Science methods valid/accuracy/repeatability/data analysis
3. Open Perspective non-bias approach (science method not really data)
4. Is the paper legitimate now
