Evaluating journal articles
After searching on NORA Power Search, or using a subject-specific database, you may have found an article or a series of articles from what you consider to be good journals but you need to also check whether a specific article is of good quality.
The PACO Method may help you. It is a quick, do-it-yourself checklist of things to consider when evaluating articles and their suitability for your work. Think:
- Purpose and content
- Authority
- Currency
- Objectivity
