Evaluating Data
| Dates | Measurements | Source | |
| Criteria | Do the statistics cover the date range for your research? If you are relying on a single statistic from an article, can you verify the date from which the source material's statistics are collected? | Are they measuring what you expect them to measure (in appropriate units)? If you need to compare statistics, are the measurements the same, or can they be converted to the same units without altering their meaning. | Is the source of the statistic clearly identifiable? Is the source reliable? |
