When choosing which articles to use for your research project, keep in mind CRAAP:

• C – Currency (Is this article current?)
• R – Relevance (Is this article relevant to the topic?)
• A – Authority (Is the author of this article qualified to write this?)
• A – Accuracy (Is the information presented in the article accurate? Are they citing their information?)
• P – Purpose (What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? Is there any bias, or are they trying to sell anything?)
