Abstract

This study focuses on how and to what degree undergraduates attend to source information while reading a set of partly contradicting web documents on a social-scientific issue, and on how students use those sources in writing an essay based on the documents. Think-aloud data collected during the reading session showed that students to some degree pay attention to both source information about the documents and to information about sources embedded in the documents’ content. Sourcing of an evaluative nature occurred most frequently while students read documents holding strong opinions on the issue. In the essays, students most frequently cited the source assumed to be most trustworthy. Students’ explicit online sourcing while reading was significantly related to their explicit references to the web documents in the essays. The results from the study are in accordance with prior studies in indicating that undergraduates need more training in sourcing skills.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
