Good sources are not just about the type and origin of information, but also the relevance and how you want to use it. Is the information good enough to be used in the current situation? If you feel you are in this situation, this is the right place.  Our article on the Science vs Social Science debate As a researcher, finding appropriate sources and facts remains the most challenging aspect of it. Compared to a normal opinion article or blog, which can use a lot of assumptions, half-truths, and narratives, etc. But when it comes to research articles, papers, journal articles, book chapters, etc., you cannot use the same information that the common man uses. This is where the filter should be bigger, better, and multilayered. Academic sources come with a guarantee, i.e., which you can trust 99%.

On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote.
