External criticism aims at establishing the authenticity of the data. To establish the authenticity of documents, one has to use an intricate test of script, spelling, language, usage and documentation.

Internal criticism deals with the meaning and trustworthiness of statements that remain within the document. It is aims at evaluating the accuracy of the documents.
