The CRAAP Test

A great way to analyze a resource to determine if it is credible/suitable for academic research is to apply the CRAAP Test. The CRAAP Test is a quick way to evaluate the reliability of a source by checking its Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. It helps you decide if the information is trustworthy and useful for your research needs.
