    External criticism is a process historians use to determine if a source is authentic by checking its validity, and involves determining if a document is valid. Internal criticism then examines the reliability of authenticated sources. Primary sources are closest to the original information, while secondary sources use analysis and interpretation of primary sources and include textbooks and reference books. External criticism, also called lower criticism, is used by historians to determine the validity of documents, especially those with historical significance, and is the first of two stages before internal criticism examines a source's reliability.

    External criticism is a process by which historians determine whether a source is authentic by

    checking the validity of the source. Internal criticism looks at the reliability of an authenticated
    source after it has been subjected to external criticism.

    Primary sources can be described as those sources that are closest to the origin of the
    information. Secondary sources often use generalizations, analysis, interpretation, and
    synthesis of primary sources. Examples of secondary sources include textbooks, articles, and
    reference books.
    External criticism, which is also known as lower criticism, is a tool used by historians and
    exegetes to determine the validity of a document, particularly a document with some sort of
    historical significance. It is the first of two stages of inquiry for it is followed by internal
    criticism.
