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 and editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·        What is the websites purpose> look for motives

·        -like selling products or winning votes—that could result in bias or incomplete information.

·        Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?

·        Where did the author get this information?
