Evaluating Research: Bibliography/Footnotes
The most credible sources provide quality references to support their assertions.
Discussion
Without reading one word of the book, we can assume that Ernest Kurtz's Not God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous will be a quality publication because a third of the book is reference notes.
Special Notes on Web Pages
One of the features on the writing materials published on this web site is that I list "References and Resources" on my handouts, worksheets, and web pages. Although references do not appear on every page, I believe that I have sufficient notes to demonstrate that the information I am presenting is credible.
