Accuracy refers to whether or not the book provides factual information. To determine the accuracy of information presented in a book, you may need to do some investigating. Here are some tips to guide you:
- Is there a general agreement with other sources for the same information?
- Is there documentation for the information provided? This may include in-text citations or a bibliography at the end of the article.
- Check for errors in the information presented. It may be acceptable to overlook minor mistakes, but there are other errors that might undermine the information presented.
