Question

Kia is looking for online sources for a paper she is writing on training dogs. She has 10 specific dog commands she needs to cover. She has found three sources. Kia has already used the appropriate strategies to determine that each source is reliable and relevant. Now she wants to determine whether she needs to find additional sources for her paper. Which strategy should she use?

She should determine who created each source.
She should confirm the information in the sources.
She should determine when and why each source was created.
She should analyze the sources to see what information is missing.

Answer 1

She should analyze the sources to see what information is missing.

Reason: Kia already checked reliability and relevance (who created them and why/when are part of that). To know if more sources are needed, she must compare the sources against her 10 commands and goals to find gaps in coverage, detail, perspectives, or techniques.
