Collaborative Writing
Group Source Evaluation
Different Sources
·
Academic Journals: Harder to read, with
more details. Great sources to rely on. Thorough research. Reliable
information. In depth. Must be peer reviewed
by at least five people. Mostly written by people that already have degrees.
·
Newspapers: Media, not always reliable. Up
to date information. Always cites an author. Usually visuals.
·
Printed: Books and magazines. Can
sometimes be very opinionated. Unusually cites other sources to work with. Can
be outdated.
·
Peer Reviewed: Collaborative information.
People working towards degree, graduate
students.
·
Periodicals: Online sources. A source
within a source. Bias information. Educated journalist. Examples of New York
Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, New York Post.
·
Government Sources: Harder to argue with source. Opinion respected
in the academic community. Sometimes do not have authors. Backed by research. You
have to find out which agency is backing the issue.
·
Scholarly Article: Academic journal,
pre thesis statement. Intern research.
Incorporating Sources Effectively
Haroon Ashraf, writing in the Lancet in 2001, wrote in the Science
and Medicine Journal, “Although the committee does not support the association
of MMR and autism, it does make clear that causality studies do have ‘inherent
methodological limitations’” (1341). The study obviously needs more research to
prove it’s point being that all the ideas of MMR and autism run parallel they
never actually intersect.

Justin Housman tells the story in Surfer Magazine 2014, of
How Jay Moriarity “…survived [and that] two decades later his wipeout is still
one of the heaviest falls anybody has ever taken. Jay’s Mavericks adventure
came at the dawn of the tow-surfing age and the worldwide search for super-big
surf [Many other surfers also had also survived wipeouts]. …By the mid-2000s,
the paddle-in brigade were throwing themselves over the ledge at Jaws, and in
2012, the jet skis sat idle while paddling hellmen attacked huge,
freaky-perfect surf at Cloudbreak during a lay day at the Fiji Pro.”
