RootsMagic lets you apply a quality rating to each of your sources based on the industry-standard Elizabeth Shown Mills, "Process Map for Evidence Analysis", Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogy Publishing, 2007).

From her discussion, Sources give us information from which we select evidence for analysis. A sound conclusion may be considered Proof.

To enter your quality ratings After careful analysis and evaluation of the associated source, you can enter a quality rating in each of the three factors, as shown in the figure below, that best describes the results of your analysis. Just click the "Quality" tab on the Edit Source screen to enter the quality.
