Sport & Event Management: Websites

Websites can be a great source of information but should always be evaluated for quality before including them in your assignments.                       

Professional body websites are a good place to look for the latest research in their field, and also provide insights into the industry they sit within.

Below are a few examples of these types of websites. This is not an exhaustive list and there will be many others you may wish to seek out.

Depending on your course and your assignment, it can sometimes be appropriate to use websites as well as academic sources. Unfortunately, while there are fantastic and reliable information freely available on the internet, there is also a lot of content which is of low quality or inappropriate to use.

The P. A. R. C. test

You will need to assess all sources for Purpose, Authority, Reliability, and Currency, otherwise known as the P. A. R. C. test before inclusion in your academic writing.

Think about:

• the author/company
• date
• purpose for which the website was created
• web address - you can sometimes tell if it is an official website by the wording of the address.
