C is for CONTENT...Is the information in your source ACCURATE and RELIABLE?
When researching, it is very important to make sure that the information you find is accurate. Do other sources have similar information, or is this source significantly different from others? Try looking at your source's list of references--the places where they found information. Are their references legitimate? Check whether the information in your source is coming from an expert in the field--someone with a degree, career, or significant experience with the topic. (In other words, go back to A is for Author! If the author is one you trust, it is more likely you can trust the information to be correct.)
