1 Use a search engine

One of the easiest ways to find sources for your presentation is to use a search engine, such as Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo. You can type in keywords related to your topic and see what results come up. However, not all results are equally reliable or valid. You need to apply some criteria to filter out the ones that are not suitable for your presentation.

Now that there are large language models applications like ChatGPT, the ability to search and generate ideas has become simple. Important that, as the expert, you understand your topic in detail, and the right questions to ask. Without that knowledge, you are at a disadvantage of determining what is the accurate and priority content to include, versus what is just repeated messages pulled from invalid sources through history.

Search engines can be your best friend for this. Depending on your topic and audience search for industry blogs, studies, professional groups, etc that you can cite during your presentation. You’ll definitely want to vet the sources you find. Typically a quick search of the author can give you a good idea of the credibility.

2 Check the domain and author

One of the criteria you can use to evaluate sources is to check the domain and author of the website. The domain is the part of the URL that indicates the type of organization or entity that owns the website. For example, .edu means an educational institution, .gov means a government agency, .org means a non-profit organization, and .com means a commercial business. Generally, domains like .edu and .gov are more reliable and valid than domains like .com and .org, because they have more rigorous standards and regulations. However, you still need to check the author of the website, who is the person or group that created the content. You want to look for authors who have credentials, expertise, or experience in the topic you are researching. You can usually find the author's name, affiliation, and contact information on the website.

Always do your homework on who actually wrote the source you’re going to leverage. Looking up their experience, work history, education, etc can help you determine is this a trustworthy source.

3 Evaluate the content and purpose

Another criterion you can use to evaluate sources is to examine the content and purpose of the website. The content is the information, facts, opinions, or arguments that the website provides. The purpose is the reason why the website exists, or what it aims to achieve. You want to look for sources that have relevant, accurate, and current content that supports your presentation. You also want to look for sources that have a clear and objective purpose that is not biased, misleading, or deceptive. You can usually find the content and purpose of the website on the homepage, the about page, or the footer.

4 Use a citation tool

A final tool you can use to evaluate sources is a citation tool, such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EasyBib. A citation tool is a software or website that helps you create and manage citations for your sources. A citation is a reference that gives credit to the original source and allows your audience to find it. A citation tool can help you evaluate sources by showing you the quality and quantity of citations that a source has. A source that has many citations from reputable sources is likely to be more reliable and valid than a source that has few or no citations. A citation tool can also help you avoid plagiarism, which is the act of using someone else's ideas or words without giving proper credit.

I fact check dates of clarification on topics by browser search. However, authors of opposite views to my own opinion clarify distortions in their own opinion which differs to the factual which directs me to a pronounced account on which to build up my working thesis.
