Check

Use the following Checklist as you conduct research.

Methods

Did I ask the right questions? (See Chapter 7, “Asking the Right Questions.”)
Is each source appropriately up to date, reputable, trustworthy, relatively unbiased, and borne out by other, similar sources? (See “Evaluate the Sources” in this chapter.)
For digital sources, do I have a clear idea of the author or organization behind the information? (See “Evaluate Online Information” in this chapter.)
Does the evidence clearly support all of the conclusions? (See Chapter 7, “Evaluating and Interpreting Your Findings.”)
- Is a fair balance of viewpoints represented? (See Chapter 7, “Exploring a Balance of Views.”)
- Can all the evidence be verified? (See “Evaluate the Evidence” in this chapter.)
- Has my research achieved adequate depth? (See Chapter 7, “Achieving Adequate Depth in Your Search.”)
- Has the entire research process been valid and reliable? (See “Obstacles to Validity and Reliability” in this chapter.)
Interpretation and Reasoning
- Am I reasonably certain about the meaning of these findings? (See Chapter 7, “Evaluating and Interpreting Your Findings” and “Interpret Your Findings” in this chapter.)
- Can I discern assumption from fact and reasoning from rationalizing? (See “Be Alert to Personal Bias” in this chapter.)
- Can I discern correlation from causation? (See “Confusion of Correlation with Causation” in this chapter.)
- Can I rule out other possible interpretations or conclusions? (See “Consider Other Possible Interpretations” in this chapter.)
- Have I accounted for all sources of bias, including my own? (See “Examine the Underlying Assumptions” and “Be Alert to Personal Bias” in this chapter.)
- Are my generalizations warranted by the evidence? (See “Faulty Generalization” in this chapter.)
- Am I confident that my causal reasoning is accurate? (See “Faulty Causal Reasoning” in this chapter.)
- Can I rule out confounding factors? (See “Confusion of Correlation with Causation” in this chapter.)
- Can all of the numbers, statistics, and interpretations be trusted? (See “Faulty Statistical Analysis” in this chapter.)
- Have I resolved (or at least acknowledged) any conflicts among my findings? (See Chapter 7, “Evaluating and Interpreting Your Findings.”)
- Can I rule out any possible error or distortion in a given study? (See “Flaws in Research Studies” in this chapter.)
- Am I getting the whole story, and getting it straight? (See “Social Media and Research Reporting” in this chapter.)
- Documentation
  - Have I taken good notes in order to document my sources accurately? (See Appendix A, “Taking Notes.”)
  - Is my documentation consistent, complete, and correct? (See Appendix A, “MLA Documentation Style” or “APA Documentation Style.”)
  - Have I used quotations sparingly, marked them accurately, and integrated them properly? (See Appendix A, “Quoting the Work of Others” and “Guidelines for Quoting.”)
  - Are all paraphrases accurate and clear? (See Appendix A, “Paraphrasing the Work of Others” and “Guidelines for Paraphrasing.”)
  - Have I documented all sources not considered common knowledge? (See Appendix A, “What You Should Document.”)
