Relevance: What type of 'audience' was the information produced for?
Was the information produced for a general or specialised audience?
Some sources are produced for a general audience, that is, anyone in the general population who may have an interest in the subject.
Most popular sources are directed toward a general audience.
For example, this book is presented as 'Every persons' guide...' which means that it is produced for a general audience.
Sources produced for a general audience may not be sufficiently specialised for a research assignment but this would depend on the topic.
Other sources such as scholarly/professional/trade sources are produced for an audience with special interests or expertise.
