Fact-checking is an important skill to have. With the overabundance of disinformation online, and questionable posts or links on social media, it is important to stay vigilant by verifying the sources you view online before you believe them, and/or share them with others.
While writing research papers, you may need to:
♦ List your sources in bibliographies or works cited, and
♦ Provide either footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical citations
