When writing a paper it is important to gather many sources. The best ones to use are credible and easy to play off of. Use these sources to strengthen your argument by either having them agree with your own thoughts or by countering your argument. When rounding up these sources it is also important ensure that they are well known and respected. Because if you choose ones that no one has ever heard of your argument won’t have much solidarity.
Some of the best sources can be those that disagree with your opinion. When using these, your paper can gain credibility and quell questions that may arise within the reader. The best way to present these is to state your argument, quote theirs, and then offer your rebuttal.
When using sources that are for your argument it is best to state how it strengthens your point of view, provide a quote that backs it up, and then show how your source agrees with your point of view.
