udawn Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi all, I know that journals are the best sources for information in terms of psychology ia's, but would it be bad if i cite sources such as: a slideshare that has concise information about the topic simplypsychology.org psychyogi.org A citation/reference used in a wikipedia article? I am having trouble finding free (clear and concise) sources for the studies I will be talking about in my IA (Pickel 1998, loftus 1987, Yuille & Cutshall 1986) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindpet Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 You should ideally only cite proper journal articles. Most wikipedia or other articles will link to the original source articles in journals. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most wikipedia or other articles will link to the original source articles in journals. That is true, but what if the source doesnt cite the articles? or what if they reference multiple sources in the end, but do not specify which part of what they wrote are gathered from which articles?

blindpet Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 If the source doesn't cite the articles I would find another source, how can you trust a source that lists no sources? If multiple sources are referenced the you go find those sources and see which one is the most likely/relevant Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I found a couple of studies from sagepub journals/researchgate that are quite decent in helping me develop small points, but have yet to find proper sources for "notable" studies" (have yet to find notable studies related to my KQ too!)
