Academic credibility of a source for references is cardinal for academic writing. There are a couple of things which makes a source present on the internet credible or non-credible for academic writing. For secondary sources which include articles, journals, and research paper, the main thing which make them credible is that it should not be older than ten years. The reason is that data in the old secondary sources can be outdated. Sources should be from verified, academic and credible database like database provided by the institution and universities. JSTOR is the most credible database for article and journals. The articles should also be written by valued and renowned authors. Lastly, for the secondary sources from the website, the website should end with .gov, .edu, and .ac ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Y6dn3MPT","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Aaron)","plainCitation":"(Aaron)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":100,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/29T72JBP"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Tqq4tlqy/items/29T72JBP"],"itemData":{"id":100,"type":"book","title":"The Little, Brown Compact Handbook: With Exercises","publisher":"Pearson/Longman","ISBN":"0-321-40914-0","author":[{"family":"Aaron","given":"Jane E."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2007"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Aaron, 372). Sources from google scholar are also credible. Hence the presence of the things as mentioned above makes a secondary source credible.
In addition to this for a source to the reliable one should look for a connection between the thesis statement or the topic of academic writing and the data present in the source. Generally, information and sources present on the government websites are reliable. Therefore for credible sources, one should look for a source present on a government website, JSTOR, and database of universities.
For adding a source in my Essay, the best thing for me was adding the keywords in the google scholar. With this, I found a myriad of articles and research papers which had the same keywords. The second step was to find the lasted article with the maximum number of similar keywords. Then I read the abstract of a few articles. It helped me in getting a general idea of the article and the aim of the author. From all the selected articles I chose the one which was most relevant, and I can link the data with my paper.
Discussion 7
In the arena of literature, the primary aim of every writer is to capture the interest and attention of the readers completely. For keeping the level of curiosity very high in the readers is paramount for creating a high impact of the piece of writing on the readers. It is the reason why generally stories in literature open up in chronological order. When the story beings a brief description of the characters is given, and the consequences of their actions are also presented in a proper sequence. However, the short story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner is written in a different manner.
In this story, the scenes or scenarios are not explained in chronological order, and each section of the story defines one aspect of the life of Emily completely. In other words, it can also be said that Emily was presented in the story as she was perceived by the people in the Town.
A profound analysis of the story and the sequence in which the scenes are present in the story makes it evident that the narrator has used this method so that each aspect of Emily’s life can be explained and understood precisely. The fundamental effect of this on the readers is that all the information has the maximum impact. The author gave each information at the perfect time so that the readers can create a link between information efficiently. On the other side, this requires the readers to be attentive so that not a single point can be missed. It is because every bit of the information in the story is essential to understand the theme and central idea.
