Everything about CRAAP test
Academic source reliability criteria
The CRAAP test is a test that evaluates the objective reliability of information sources across academic disciplines. CRAAP is an acronym for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. Because a vast number of sources exist online, it can be difficult to tell if sources are trustworthy enough to use for research. The CRAAP test aims to make it easier for educators and students alike to determine if sources can be trusted. By employing the test while evaluating sources, a researcher may reduce their susceptibility to unreliable information. The CRAAP test, developed by Sarah Blakeslee and her team of librarians at California State University, Chico, is used mainly by higher education librarians at universities. It is one of various approaches to source criticism. Wikipedia →
