This evaluation is an indication of the credibility, authority or bias of the source: as you move closer to a research-supported report, you will need to carefully think about how your sources credibility will be supporting your credibility (or ethos). Some ways you could demonstrate credibility are by listing how you found the source (via library databases), by indicating that the source comes from a respected publication (the New York Times, a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, etc.) or by showing that the author has credentials relevant to the topic.
