Research & Citation Tools: P.R.O.V.E.N. Evaluation

Evaluate Information the P.R.O.V.E.N. Way

The P.R.O.V.E.N. Method is an information evaluation tool that enables you to evaluate the usefulness of information on six key points: Purpose (why something was written), Relevance (how useful the information is), Objectivity (whether the information is biased), Verifiability (whether the information is factual), Expertise (credentials of the information creator), and Newness (recency of information).
