It is unclear which of the options is correct because the website cited is unavailable.

However, when carrying out secondary research like Lennox, there are certain rules to follow in selecting sources to cite. Citing wrong sources may cause your research to lose credibility.

  1. Cite reliable sources:
  • There are journals that publish peer-reviewed research articles. These are most likely to contain reliable sources of information, and as such, can be cited.
  • There are scientific organizations that carry out very extensive research and development. Examples are: Institute of Health of various nations, the Center for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, the Bureau of Statistics of various countries, the World Bank, etc are very reliable sources.
  • UTube Videos, blogs, non-educational sources are not good sources to cite from. Some reliable sources such as those mentioned above may have videos on UTube. It is important to check the sources thoroughly.

   2. Cite Primary Sources

Primary sources are organizations that consistently carry out their own research. Goods examples are the World Bank, websites with .edu extension, etc. Websites like Wikipedia that collect information from non-primary and unreviewed sources are not good examples to cite from.

  3.  Cite Up-to-date sources

It is unadvisable to cite sources that are too old. The older the source the less reliable it is.

Conclusively, we can tell from the above which source should be cited from or not.
