Source criticism (or information evaluation) is the process of evaluating an information source, i.e.: a document, a person, a speech, a fingerprint, a photo, an observation, or anything used in order to obtain knowledge.

Sample questions from Sonja K Foss [7]: 312–313 offer a guide for analysis: Setting – How does the setting relate to the plot and characters? How is the particular setting created?
The French philosopher Jacques Derrida, whose 1966 statement about Einstein's theory of relativity was quoted in Sokal's paper, was singled out for criticism, particularly in U.S. newspaper coverage of the hoax. [17] [18] One weekly magazine used two images of him, a photo and a caricature, to illustrate a "dossier" on Sokal's paper. [18]
A unit of analysis in ideological criticism, or what Sonja Foss calls "traces of ideology in an artifact," is the ideograph.It is a symbol representing an ideological concept and is more than what the symbol itself depicts.
