5. Source Restrictions:
The purpose of this is to ensure for the academic purpose of the term paper that you use refereed and/or reviewed documents from authorized government sources or reputable research journals.
a. Your first and best source is via the Library. You will find more documents than you can use.
b. Second, one can use government documents and data under certain conditions. If the government database is straight from their sources, such as the Bureau of Labor statistics, it is OK to use.
c. Third, if there is a government document that has its own existence, such as a NASA, DOD, or OSHA technical publication, and the fact that one can download said document from a government website is merely a convenience, it is OK.
d. Newspaper articles are not reviewed, or even necessarily factual, they may be rank fiction or half-baked assumptions, e.g. anything from the New York Times USA Today or tabloids. The same goes for broadcast news.
e. Websites not backed by formal approved documents, such as “Melvin’s Fish Bait Tackle Shop and Aviation Museum” (made up name) cannot be used at all. Academic research requires a trail of audited and reviewed information that can withstand hard investigation and challenge.
g. One of the best websites to search for papers in scientific authoritative reviewed journals is the National Library of Medicine. http://www.nlm.nih.gov
