The document discusses the CRAAP test, which is used to evaluate resources. CRAAP is an acronym that represents the components to evaluate: Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. Each component provides criteria to assess an information source, such as considering the timeliness of the information for the Currency component or determining if the source has relevant experience for the Authority component. Understanding each component of the CRAAP test helps ensure accurate and reliable information is being used.

Using the CRAAP test in studies we can see the correct assessment of how accurate and reliable a resource is - whether it is a scientific article or an article distributed on Facebook. CRAAP is an acronym for each stage of the process of evaluating a source. C: Currency. }{\f1\cf0 R}{\f1\cf0 : Relevance. A: Authority. A: Accuracy. P: Purpose. Each component provides information on how to evaluate: currency refers to the timeliness of resources, may be more important in some fields, such as science and medicine, than in other fields, such as the humanities, but it is usually recommended for current information. However, consideration of the currency is important, so information that has been replaced with new ideas and research is not used. Relevance refers to the importance of the information or all the sources we use in a project should be relevant to the topic. Although the perfect source that captures exactly all the ideas may not be found, the sources I use should be linked in some way. The authority refers to the source of the information and the authority informs us that, having experience or expertise in this subject shares its knowledge, the authority is contextual. Experience or expertise must be relevant to the topic. Accuracy refers to the reliability of the resource and determining the accuracy of a source ensures that the use of information is accepted and error-free. Purpose refers to the reasons why there is information and the sources of the purpose can be written to entertain, inform, persuade or otherwise. Understanding the purpose helps to see if there are biases or reasons that may affect the way the information is presented.}\f1\par}
