Question

part b: find credible sources
when writing a research paper, look for credible sources. science doesn’t show bias, but humans do. avoid sites
and articles that provide facts without citing proper scientific evidence. you must be able to identify reliable sites so
that the data in your research paper is credible.

use sources that end in .gov, such as cdc.gov. these government sites are reliable sources. you can also use sites
ending in .edu. they’re generally trustworthy, but sometimes students, not scientists, write content for .edu
websites. always identify the source’s author before proceeding. some .org and .com sites are credible, but it’s
important to verify their authenticity. when reviewing a source, ask these questions:

• who is the author?
• is this person a cancer expert?
• what is the document’s purpose?
• does the document state facts that scientists can prove with evidence?
• are there opinions in the document?
• how old is the document?
• do other credible sources support the statements in the document?

search for credible websites and note the information they contain. write down two sources that you’ll use for your
research paper, and cite them using modern language association (mla) citation methods.

Explanation:

The problem is about finding credible sources for a research paper, including guidelines on website domains (like.gov,.edu) and evaluating sources. The subfield in Social Science related to research methods and academic writing, or in Arts (Writing) as it involves research paper writing. Since it's about research source credibility and academic writing for a paper, the subfield in Arts - Writing (or in Social Science - Education, but Writing in Arts is more about the writing process of research papers) is appropriate. For example, choosing two credible sources:

1. CDC.gov (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) - a.gov site, reliable for health - related research. MLA citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Website Title (if any)". CDC.gov, [date accessed].
2. Harvard.edu (a.edu site, generally trustworthy for academic research). MLA citation: Harvard University. "Website Title (if any)". Harvard.edu, [date accessed].

Answer:

Two possible credible sources with MLA citations:

1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "CDC - Home". CDC.gov, [access date].
2. Harvard University. "Harvard University - Home". Harvard.edu, [access date].
