It is now time to evaluate and use
and reference the information you have located.
At university level it is important to rely on information that meets the
standards expected by your lecturers. In many cases your arguments should be
supported by what are termed scholarly or "peer-reviewed"
publications.
When citing other peoples work in your assignments, it is vital that it
is correctly referenced
