It’s Online, but Is It On Target?

Part 2

 Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·       Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·       What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives --- like spelling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·       Is the information accurate? It is up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?
