5- Admitting the trustworthiness of the resources.

6- Avoid plagiarism.

Types of Information

According to (Leung et al., 2019), "Information may take two forms":

  1. Factual Information: aims for unchangeable facts, such as the sun rising from the east; it is a reality that cannot differ from one research to another.
  2. Analytical Information: refers to the answers produced by data analysis; Weather prediction, for example, depends on analyzing data that comes out from (space and satellites, surface, marine, atmosphere, radar image, etc.) data, so it varies from one analysis to the other according to the previous data.
