Did the author consult primary sources, secondary resources or a combination of both? Look at the dates of the works listed in the bibliography. Did the author use the latest information available? Are the resources used much older than the book itself? Do the materials used represent a comprehensive overview of the published works?

? General audience? Articles written for a general audience often use a simpler vocabulary and try to define or avoid subject specific terms or phrases.
? Members of the profession or experts in the field?
? Researchers or scholars? Often if an article is written for other professionals, the article will use terms and language special to the subject area.
