Evaluating sources for EPQ

Hi, how do you evaluate sources for your EPQ? I've written the main body of my essay and now I have 61 sources to go through... :frown:
Use RAVEN
Reputation (of the author)
Ability to Observe (is the author in a position that allows access to reliable evidence)
Vested Interest (does the author have a personal stake in the topic of event)
Expertise (does the author have specialized knowledge on the topic or event)
Neutrality (is the author neutral about the issue or is bias evident)

Ahh nice, thank you! How would you use this? Would it be like a list of checkboxes for a source to fill? Or would the examiners want you to talk about each source and analyse them?

no problem, and yeah you need to briefly talk about each source, nothing too excessive though
