Before you get the data you need to select the source of the information. There are two main types of information sources: primary sources and secondary sources (Denscombe, 2002, p.94). Secondary information sources represent available information on topics being examined in the public domain. This information is basically written by experts and authors not involved in the survey and is available in publications such as books, magazines, magazines, online publications (Denscombe, 2002, p.94). Secondary information sources are provided physically or online, and researchers need to carefully evaluate their quality, accuracy and relevance before using them for research. On the other hand, the main sources of information represent information directly obtained from research subjects or organizations through survey subjects or interviews.

Information sources are usually divided into primary and secondary sources. Secondary information sources include all information about publicly available materials, more specifically subjects that are publicly available in the form of books, articles, journals, magazines, and other publications I will. The main information comes from being part of research subjects or essential information sources (Bryman & Bell, 2007). The main information is usually obtained from interviews and focus group discussions, but this information can be obtained from the publications of organizations and departments, publications written by researchers, interviews with trusted media publications, and information Other information. Spread through personal or organization's web site (Bryman & Bell, 2007)

Identifying reliable sources - Information assessment, also known as source criticism, is the process of evaluating information sources such as documents, people, voice, fingerprints, photographs, observations, or what is used to gain knowledge. The given source is more or less effective, reliable or relevant for a given purpose. Broadly speaking, "source criticism" is an interdisciplinary research on how to evaluate information sources on specific tasks. The Wikipedia project provides useful guidance to identify trusted sources
