evaluate the credibility of the source.

Explanation: before using a source you should check its accuracy, authority, currency, and bias. Researching the author's background is one step of that; you generally do not need the author's permission to use factual information (copyright rules apply to reproducing protected text), and finding an opposing source can be useful but isn’t always required before using a source.
