What might be some of the word consequences of using information that was not accurate and credible?
The first consequence would be an embarrassment. The second is loss of credibility. Neither, which seems to keep people from telling incredible information, lies, etc.
What are the consequences of using unreliable sources?
Using unreliable sources in an academic paper can weaken the credibility of the writer, dilute the writer’s argument, and detract from the overall strength of the paper. It is always better to go to the primary source if possible because otherwise you are relying on someone else’s interpretation of the information.
What activities could contaminate the integrity of data?
Data integrity may be compromised through:
- Human error, whether malicious or unintentional.
- Transfer errors, including unintended alterations or data compromise during transfer from one device to another.
- Bugs, viruses/malware, hacking, and other cyber threats.
- Compromised hardware, such as a device or disk crash.
Why is it important to use credible sources in the workplace?
It is important to use credible sources in an academic research paper because your audience will expect you to have backed up your assertions with credible evidence. Using evidence that does not come from a credible source of information will not convince your reader that your claim is plausible or even correct.
What is non reliable source of information?

Empirical studies have consistently demonstrated that even when people should know better, reading inaccurate information can affect their performance on subsequent tasks.
Is reliance on inaccurate information predictable?
The current article outlines how reliance on inaccurate information is a predictable consequence of the routine cognitive processes associated with memory, problem solving, and comprehension. This view helps identify conditions under which inaccurate information is more or less likely to influence subsequent decisions.
Why is it important to avoid reading inaccurate information?
Empirical studies have consistently demonstrated that even when people should know better, reading inaccurate information can affect their performance on subsequent tasks. What encourages people’s encoding and use of false statements?
How does exposure to inaccurate information in fiction affect post-reading decisions?
