For this assignment, I picked two reference materials for evaluation. Their score for every parameter from the Information Source Evaluation Matrix are listed below.

Who? What? Where? When? Why? TOTAL
Bio-based materials as applicable, accessible, and affordable healthcare solutions 2 3 2 4 4 15
Accessible and affordable healthcare? Views of Australians with and without chronic conditions 5 5 4 5 4 23

There is a variety of reasons why I chose Accessible and affordable healthcare over the other source in regards of the different points mentioned above. Concerning the criteria of the credibility of the author, Zurynski is a Professor of Health System Sustainability, which makes her opinion relevant in the field, unlike the author of Bio-based materials, who is not an academic researcher, but a business consultant. The second article views the topic from different angles, giving the reader a broad scale of the problem of healthcare affordability. The first one focuses on the difficulties of implementation of new technologies and does not possess much of an academic value. Thus, the situation in which the author applies the point is slightly different and narrower than in the task  while the credible source provides a good overview. Zurynskis et al. article is recent as well, being published in 2020, while the Tracys et al. one is still acceptable, but older, with the possibility of some information provided being already outdated. Zurynski et al. (2020) explain the reason for the article as to describe the views of health consumers with or without chronic illnesses, thus painting an accurate picture of the subject, the only downfall of which is being focused within one country, Australia (p. 2). Tracys et al. aim, however, is the technical applications of bio-technology and building a business out of it. Therefore, Accessible and affordable healthcare is the more credible one, with it being more relevant, up-to-date, and better describing the subject than the other article.
