Kildekritik

Den kritiske jagt!

Vi kender det alle sammen; jagten efter den perfekte kilde. Den kilde, der på perfekt vis understøtter dit argument eller giver dig den manglende brik i dit faglige puslespil.

Men, hvordan ved du om du kan ”stole” på din kilde? Holder den vand, er den troværdig, og kan den overhovedet bruges i studiemæssig sammenhæng!?
