Critically evaluating information: What makes a credible source?

Thursday 12 March 2026 1pm - 3pm

Organiser: Academic Skills
Location: online
Open to: Everyone

In this session we'll think broadly about what makes a reliable source of information. We'll start by considering online sources and how, given so many voices, and the growth of generative artificial intelligence, we can possibly hope to tell truth from lies. We’ll explore frameworks for evaluating information and determining credibility, and we'll consider why some sources are considered more reliable than others. We'll also start to look at how we might use such sources in support of an academic argument.
