dc.description.abstractPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide students of educational research with clear guidance on how to choose high quality sources for research papers and theses. Methods: Using an information-analysis approach, this evidence-based guide draws from social sciences research methodology literature. It addresses a gap in the literature by offering pragmatic guidance on how to engage in an informed decision-making process about what types of literature are appropriate for inclusion in educational research reports. Results: The primary outcome of this work is a clear, plain-language guide for students to help them build their understanding of the kinds of sources to include in a literature review. Implications: As a result of better understanding the types of sources that constitute a credible literature review, students may develop both their competence and confidence selecting appropriate sources for their research writing. Although written for an educational research audience, researchers in other disciplines may find it applicable.en_US
