research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine website for clues that
they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
·
Who
wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization
response 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?
·
Whats
is the website’s purpose? Look for motivies—like selling products or winning
votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.
·
Is
the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
·
Where
did the author get this information?
