Select: .gov website, scholarly article, book written by an expert.
Brief notes:
- .gov website: generally reliable for official statistics, laws, policies and public-health guidance (but check date and whether it’s the agency’s official site).
- Scholarly article: reliable because it’s peer-reviewed and cites evidence (verify journal quality and date).
- Book by an expert: usually reliable—especially if published by a reputable publisher and well-cited—but check the author’s credentials and publication date.
Not generally reliable: personal blog (unless by a recognized expert with sources) and .com advertisement (designed to sell, not to provide unbiased evidence).
