In historical research, the evaluation carried out to test the authenticity of the source document is referred to as :
External evaluation
Historical research evaluates every source in two stages, usually called external criticism and internal criticism, before its evidence is accepted.
External evaluation (external criticism) examines the document itself: its genuineness, authorship, date, place of origin, paper, ink, handwriting and seal, to decide whether it is authentic or a forgery.
Internal evaluation (internal criticism) comes after authenticity is settled and judges the credibility, accuracy and meaning of the content, that is, whether what a genuine document says can be believed.
Literary evaluation is the critical appraisal of a text as literature, and secondary evaluation is not a recognised stage of historical criticism, so neither describes testing the authenticity of a source.
So the test of authenticity of the source document is external evaluation.
Hence, External evaluation.
